# Automatically check for updates

/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticCheckEnabled 1

# Download newly available updates in background

/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticDownload 1

# Install System data files & security updates

/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CriticalUpdateInstall 1


# Install App updates

/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.commerce AutoUpdate 1

# Install OS X updates

/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.commerce AutoUpdateRestartRequired 1

## Adobe Flash Player

echo AutoUpdateDisable=0 > /Library/Application\ Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg

echo SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1 >> /Library/Application\ Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg

com.apple.commerce.plist

AutoUpdateRestartRequired - Install OS X updates

AutoUpdate                           - Install App updates

com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist

AutomaticCheckEnabled      - Automatically check for updates

AutomaticDownload             - Download Newly available updates in Background

CriticalUpdateInstall             - Install System data files & security updates

so these can be set via script e.g.

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.commerce AutoUpdate 1


________________________________
/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

because that's exactly where you'd expect to find the Adobe Flash update preferences.
