Updates on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server systems are performed using the Red Hat Network and the up2date command. Refer to your Red Hat Linux documentation for information.
Updates on cross-platform systems are performed by the Update Agent program, which is called with the bin/agent command:
bin/agent
bin/agent package...
For example, if you did not install Tomcat initially and decided you wanted it later, you would run:
# bin/agent stronghold-tomcat
You can also specify what agent does when you run it by using the following options:
For example, to list the packages required to install Tomcat you would run either:
# bin/agent -l stronghold-tomcat
or
# bin/agent --list stronghold-tomcat
If you wanted to download the packages but not install them, you would run:
# bin/agent -d stronghold-tomcat
The packages will be saved in var/ua/spool. Note that the options work when no packages are selected, for example:
# bin/agent -l
lists the packages required to upgrade your system.
