NAME

     swupd_syncd -- Software Update Server sync daemon


SYNOPSIS

     swupd_syncd


DESCRIPTION

     swupd_syncd is the syncronization and download daemon for Software Update
     Server.  This daemon is typically executed via Server Admin.app or the
     serveradmin command line tool.  When launched checks for available prod-
     uct updates from Apple and, if requested by the administrator, copies
     Apple updates to the local server, providing a local source for Mac OS X
     software updates.  By default downloaded product updates are saved in
     /var/db/swupd/html.  Alternate download locations may be configured via
     Server Admin.app.

     The sync daemon is invoked periodically under launchd control.  The
     launchd settings for the daemon are defined in com.apple.swup-
     date.sync.plist, installed in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons folder. The
     sync process exits automatically after all requested product updates are
     downloaded.

     Program settings controlling the behavior of the daemon are stored in
     /etc/swupd/swupd.plist.

     Information about available and copied product updates is saved in
     /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist.  This file is automatically
     updated by the daemon after each execution.

     In addition to swupd_syncd , Software Update Server provides an httpd
     daemon process to serve downloaded product updates to Mac OS X client
     machines.  The httpd daemon settings are configured in
     /etc/swupd/swupd.conf.

     The sync daemon is not intended for command line operation, but can be
     run in that form for special actions.  Run 'swupd_syncd -h' for more
     information on available program options.
