The Mac App Store on Mac OS X (10.8.3) notifies me frequently about new app updates by showing a little popup. How can I change the update frequency or the way Mac OS X notifies me?

Launch Terminal, found in /Applications/Utilities/ and enter the following command:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate ScheduleFrequency 3
Set the number at the end to the number in days between checking for available software updates, the example uses 3 days

Thanks! Tried it and it seems to work fine. Do you know if this settings survives updates? – greenforest Apr 3 '13 at 22:09

Not sure, but it should, as it would be pointless otherwise. Please don't forget to accept my answer if it is the answer is satisfactory. Thank you. – Ali Samii Apr 4 '13 at 3:18

Are you sure this checks for Mac App Store apps, and not just Software Updates for OS X itself? – TJ Luoma May 16 '13 at 14:05
