"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?

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?

. . . when you say it is a cron job, are you saying that it is part of the
*wsusoffline* program itself?

These updates that it collects come directly from Microsoft?

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?

Thanks for you help!
