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.
