Using the WSUPDATE Utility

Using WSUPDATE to Update Files on Client Workstations

7Choose “View or Edit Object Properties.”

8Choose “Login Script.”

9In the login script, map a drive to the file on the network you want copied to the client workstations.

For example, if you want to copy the NE2000.COM file from the \DRIVERS directory to drive J: on the workstations, add a drive mapping similar to the following:

MAP J:=VOL2:DRIVERS\

10Insert the WSUPDATE command after the drive mapping in the login script by typing

#WSUPDATE J: filename

For example, if you mapped drive J: as shown in Step 9, add the following command after the drive mapping:

#WSUPDATE J: NE2000.COM

This command searches all local drives of the client workstations and replaces the NE2000.COM file with its newer version on drive J:.

It renames any old NE2000.COM file on the local drives to NE2000.OLD.

11To save the login script, press <F10>.

12To exit, press <Esc>.

13Log in all of the client workstations that you have modified the login scripts for. If the workstations are already logged in, log them in to the network again.

This runs the WSUPDATE program and updates the files on all those client workstations.
