In my office there are a good number of Macs, ranging from an iMacG3 hanging by a thread to the most recent macbook. There are about 20 scattered throughout 4 locations around the city. Needless to say, manually updating these computers can be a pain in the rear for something that involves a couple of clicks.
Does anyone have any experience expediting the process (other than a can of soda)? Suprisingly, in the "manage" menu bar in remote desktop 3.2 doesn't have a "open software update" option for a batch of computers. I do have the option of sending a unix command, but I'm not as unix savvy as I'd like to be.
