Hallo, HillTopsGM, Du meintest am 04.09.13: > "it's completed/refreshed every time you want."? > I was looking into it more and so can you confirm this for me; > If I run the updategnerator.exe file that will ONLY add the files I > don't have right at the moment? Surely. "wget" checks if the file already exists. > If that is so, then anytime windows notifies me that there are > updates, I'd simply have to run this updategnerator.exe file to get > the new ones; and then go to all the other machines and run the > updateinstaller.exe file. Is that right? That's right. > Helmut Hullen wrote >> Updateing is a cron job.

No - writing a cronjob is the administrator's job. But that's a very simple job. > These updates that it collects come directly from Microsoft? Yes. > If this is the case, this would be tremendously helpful! > Oh, and what happens when http://www.wsusoffline.net/ > <http://www.wsusoffline.net/> comes up with a new 'version', do you > have to start all over again? "That depends!" Windows: you're told that there is a newer version. Linux: the administrator has to watch the wsusoffline website. Installing the program: under Linux just copy it into your desired directory; it overwrites only the wsusoffline binaries/scripts. But that's a wsusoffline problem (if it is a problem), no squid problem. Viele Gruesse! Helmut
