@Sveenie, @Chris: this seems to work:

 localhost=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/softwareupdate

One line per user, or alternatively specify with % a group (which you’ll have to put in /etc/group, of course).

@Chris: Yeah, I really don’t understand, why the check for new updates needs a password since Snow Leopard. Your suggestion is a workaround, but be aware of the fact that then every user on your machine can also install any software updates.

Ehm… not sure… but… if you also do visudo as root and add this line:
ALL ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/softwareupdate
and change in your script
set theList to every paragraph of (do shell script ” softwareupdate -l”)
with
set theList to every paragraph of (do shell script “sudo softwareupdate -l”)
… i think it works without adding any password…

but maybe i’m wrong

@Krischan: Thanks. There’s even more to discover in the screenshot. For example what I should have done instead of writing this software.
