Updating Stronghold Web Server


Updating Stronghold Web Server on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server

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.


Updating Stronghold Web Server on Cross-Platform Systems

Updates on cross-platform systems are performed by the Update Agent program, which is called with the bin/agent command:

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:

-l, --list
List the packages in a transaction.
-d, --download
Download packages without installing.
-i, --install
Download and install packages. This is the default.

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.
