Non-Interactive Mode
Non-interactive mode is essential when executing a script for applying DUPs
to multiple systems. When applying DUPs to multiple systems, you cannot
answer yes or no during script execution. Your script specifies -q for
non
-interactive mode; often script writers add -f for force and -r for reboot if
a reboot is required for the type of update being performed.
In the following command example, the command applies a BIOS DUP
without any user confirmation, forces the execution in the case of a
downgrade from a more recent BIOS version, and reboots the system after the
DUP is applied. This command is executed provided the DUP satisfies all the
system and version requirements.
./PE2850-ESM_FRMW_LX_R92394.bin -q -f -r

Line Interface Reference."
Verifying the Digital Signature

and to certify that the original content of the file has not been modified since
it was signed.
