Mac App Store cannot update software from the command line

Status:"Behaves correctly" Resolved:nope
Product:Mac App Store Product Version:1.1.2
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
I administer several computer labs.  When a Mac App Store software update occurs, currently I have to go around to each workstation, log in, launch App Store, log in again, and run updates.  This is boring and takes a long time.

I'd love to see a command-line executable that allows me to run Mac App Store software updates, which I could then automate using Apple Remote Desktop.

Closed, Won't Fix

Today Apple responded:

"Engineering has determined that this issue behaves as intended"
