| got the solution. It should be integer "ScheduleFrequency" of dictionaries of file "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist" | |
|
|
| I tried Q: exists dictionary "ScheduleFrequency" of dictionaries of file "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist" A: false This is a binary file but it seems I can't query it in the say way as a dictionary file. | |
 |
|
| Did you try using dictionaries of file ? Plists can be XML or Binary, but I believe in either case they can be queried in the same way using the API. | |
|
|
| Also, I tried to parse the file "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist" to extract the value for "ScheduleFrenquency" on 10.7. The file is not a dictionary file and when I use "lines of file "/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist", it returns me weird results with lots of machine code. Do you have any idea? | |

|
| @rustymyers, the file I put is for 10.7... | |

| @sharon.xie I think I see the issue. This analysis should be relevant for 10.8 machines only. This checks the location that is changed when Software Updates are toggled in the GUI. For Mavericks (10.9), I created a new analysis: http://bigfix.me/analysis/details/2994640 | |
