Cisco ASA UPdates

I hope this is a simple request.  Does anyone know of or have a script that will download and install the IPS 
signatures from Cisco for the ASA 5500 series running IDS/IPS? With the Conficker rumored to be ready to spring to life 
next week, this would be an ideal time to be sure the signatures are updated in a regular and timely fashion.

I realize that any such script would necessarily need password access to the ASA so please, if you have one and are 
willing to share, be careful to remove (and document how to reinsert) any sensitive information from the script. Also, 
if it needs any auxiliary applications running (like FTP and/or TFTP), please note this.
