Auto Install of Software
The capability exists to automatically perform software updates at
system boot-up or when a session is started from the session manager.
To configure the logic analysis system to do this, you must create a file
called AutoInstall, and place it into the directory /logic/usr/swinstall
on your system. The presence of this file indicates to the system that
there is software that is to be installed.
Creation of the AutoInstall file
The AutoInstall file must be named "AutoInstall" (it is case-sensitive)
and it MUST be placed in the /logic/usr/swinstall directory.
The syntax for the file is as follows:
[Force | force]
[(Mount | mount) <mount-from-dir> <local-dir-to-mount-to>]
<Absolute filename of product or patch to install>
<Absolute filename of product or patch to install>
<Absolute filename of product or patch to install>

Syntax Definitions:
NOTE: Syntax keywords are not case-sensitive.
[Force | force]
The presence of either "Force" or "force" is to force the installation
without any user intervention. This means the user is not given the
opportunity to delay the installation. If this keyword is on the
first line in AutoInstall, then the installation WILL TAKE PLACE.
The only thing that will stop the installation is an error of some
kind (e.g. if a file mount error occurs or the software to install
cannot be located, etc).
The forced installation will stop if there is an error of some kind
while setting up for the install (e.g if there is a syntax error in
the AutoInstall file, a file mount error occurs, or the software to
install cannot be located, etc). If a product or patch begins
installing but an error occurs in the actual install, this will be
