[Casper] Defaults write set software update interval

[Miles Leacy]

Jared,
It's a byhost preference called com.apple.scheduler.  I'd have to sit with
it for a bit to get the exact sequence of commands, and PlistBuddy would be
easier than defaults.

What would be even easier would be to turn off the schedule on the client,
enter your Software Update Server's info into your JSS, and run Software
Update via Casper policy.  Software Update is a checkbox in the Packages
tab, and you can have your policy run every day, week or month.
