The frequency has always been settable by the system admin. At least in the early days, the default was weekly, but the frequency set by the user has always been carried over by upgrades. -ken On 3/18/13 2:37 PM, Harry Hoffman wrote:
It's been a while since I've last looked but the update checking frequency for OSX was less then optimal. I think checks were every week or greater, I can't quite remember. You may want to switch that to daily checks. HTH.
