How do I observe and control a macOS update using `softwareupdate`?

I made the mistake (don’t ask) of entering

in Terminal, which is now stuck doing — I don’t know what:

and attempts to stop it with ^C result in

I have no progress indictor or feedback, and this has been going on for hours and softwareupdate —dump-state shows no entries (except for running dump-state ) for quite some time.

How do I check the status of a softwareupdate installation, and how do I abort it if it isn’t stopping or completing on its own?

Out of frustration I simply tried

in a new Terminal window, which unstuck the instance of softwareupdate running on the other original window. This seems to have resolved the issue completely.

You can observe the progress softwareupdate is making by viewing its logging messages.

Just run sudo log stream —predicate «processImagePath Contains[c] ‘softwareupdate'» in another terminal to view the log messages live. Or look at logged messages during the last 10 minutes by using sudo log show —last 10m —predicate.

Its logging is quite noisy, but some of these relay the current progress. There’s a separate progress counter both for the software download, and the install.

For example, while in the install phase I see messages like this:

Or try a command like this: sudo log stream —predicate «processImagePath Contains[c] ‘softwareupdate’ AND eventMessage Contains[c] ‘progress'» , which will filter the log messages to only include ones that contain the string ‘progress’

Как значительно ускорить процесс обновления macOS

Владельцам компьютеров Mac не стоит напоминать, сколько времени обычно занимает процесс установки новой версии операционной системы — в лучшем случае это полчаса, а обычно и больше. Этот процесс можно ускорить в несколько раз, использовав вместо App Store команды в «Терминале».

Самая простая комбинация выглядит так:

• softwareupdate -l — запрашивает список доступных обновлений
• softwareupdate -l -a — запускает установку

Продвинутые пользователи могут вместо этого воспользоваться командой ниже — она автоматически запускает процедуры обновления одну за другой:

sudo softwareupdate -l -a;sudo reboot

Но если использовать «Терминал» для установки обновлений на Mac, мы бы советовали эту команду:

sudo softwareupdate -l -a && sudo reboot

В этом случае компьютер перезагрузится только тогда, когда первая команда будет выполнена успешно. При возникновении ошибок система сразу же вынесет предупреждение.

Лонгриды для вас

Apple представила AirTag, но до сих пор чип U1, который нужен для их полноценной работы, есть только в некоторых устройствах компании. Его нет даже в новом iPad Pro. Разбираемся, почему.

Сразу после презентации Apple выпустила первую бету iOS 15. Разбираемся, какие устройства её поддерживают и как можно установить тестовую сборку обновления, не имея аккаунта разработчика

Украденные хакерами секретные чертежи новых устройств Apple оказались гораздо более опасными, чем считалось ранее. На одном из них засветился новый MacBook Pro с портом HDMI и слотом для карт памяти.

Так а чем это ускорит процесс обновления, по сравнению с запуском того же обновления из AppStore? По-моему заголовок статьи не соответствует содержанию.

I’ve found my partially downloaded update files in /private/var/folders/ /com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/

The appear to be some hash of either the computer or the software being downloaded. Try the following:

Open a Terminal
sudo find /private -name » SomePartOfTheDriverNameYouAreLookingFor» -print

Note I don’t see /private in finder because of the permissions on it (hence the need for sudo above).

Also note, I had one directory in named -Cache- which is tricky to cd into because the leading — is perceived as an argument to cd, so I just cd into the entire directory path instead.

Finally, be wary doing things as root (sudo) as you can end up damaging your OS (so don’t go around removing files you are not sure about)

Mac OS X Update is located in my /Library/Updates, but the Packages folder only contains a 8KB file MacOSXUpd10.5.7-10.5.7.dist. According to Software Update, 19% of the update was downloaded but it is not in /Library/Updates.

Software Update is reporting 3 hours to download the remaining 81%. I’ll wait until Apple resolves whatever issues are plaguing users. I would like to start over fresh, however, but it appears the download is not saved in one location.
