wont give you a ready code since dont know what kind of updates you need, here is something yo give you a general idea.
import os
import time
while True:
if time.ctime < xxxxxx and time.ctime > xxxxxx:
os.system(update)
else:
time.sleep(5)
you need to do some slicing and dicing for the times to make sure its night time :)

yeh this looks great , but i think i need updated like,,,,, package updated for ubuntu generally like
the updates that we get from this command
#sudo apt-get updates
so how do i put this in a .sh file
since sudo will be asking for password again and again
and i need the script in the client pc cause client users they dont know sudo password

os.system() arg can be any shell command. You could consider running the script with sudo and test out if it asks it.
Can't really help with updating macs since havent worked on/with apple products before.
