Examples:

ppupdate /cseupdate

Forces CSE to immediately re-read update.config

Check for updates will be performed on schedule.

ppupdate /cseupdatenow

Forces CSE to immediately re-read update.config, checks for updates and installs them if any are available.

Using this option will also reset the schedule.

ppupdate /cseupdatenow /force 

When specified along with /cseupdatenow, forces CSE to check for updates even when automatic updates are disabled in update.config. This option is useful for those who want to check for updates on their own schedule.
