Can we set a time for updates to download overnight?

[TheChemist]

Good morning,

I don't know if this has been previously discussed. My ISP has a daily windows when downloads do not count against the monthly data bucket. I wanted to know if there is a way to set the App Store to check for updates and download them during said period.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my thread!

The Terminal command below will automatically download any updates. What you could do is use something like the app Lingon to schedule that command when you want.

softwareupdate --download --all

You could probably also use a cronjob for this instead of Lingon.
