Using WSUPDATE to Update Files on Client Workstations
The WSUPDATE utility allows you to copy updates of files to client workstations automatically, either at the command line or from a login script or profile.
Updating Files from the Command Line
Prerequisites
Before you load WSUPDATE, ensure that
•The files that are copied to the workstation reside in the same directory as the WSUPDATE utility (the default is SYS:PUBLIC)
•Each workstation you want to update files on has a drive mapped to
SYS:PUBLIC
Procedure
1Copy the new files to the SYS:PUBLIC directory.
2Change to the network drive that is mapped to the PUBLIC subdirectory. For example, if you mapped network drive G: to PUBLIC, type
G:<Enter>
3Load WSUPDATE and specify the file and path you want updated. For example, you might type
WSUPDATE /F=C:\NE2000.COM <Enter>
The /F option lets you specify the file location.
Updating Files from a Login Script or Profile
You can add the WSUPDATE command to a system login script or container profile for updating files on client workstations.
