WSUPDATE
WSUPDATE Options
Using WSUPDATE
• WSUPDATE compares the date and time of the source and destination files. If
the source file is more current, WSUPDATE updates the destination file.
• WSUPDATE can be run from a batch file. In that case, you may want to use
options such as File (F) and Proceed (P).
Option Use to
/ALL Search all mapped drives. You cannot specify a drive or
volume with this option.
/C Copy the new file over the old one, with no backup.
/CON Continuously scroll the output.
/E Erase the existing log file. Use with the /L option.
/F=[path\file] Specify a file where the commands to update the
workstation are stored. (Other options are ignored.)
/LOCAL Search all local drives. You cannot specify a drive or
volume with this option.
/
L=[path\file]
Specify the location and filename of a log file where
WSUPDATE can store information. (Erase the log file
using /E or a DOS delete command.)
/P Get a prompt asking you whether to proceed. If there are
no files to be updated, this option allows you to stop the
session before it begins.
/O Update all files, even those flagged Read Only.
/R Rename the old file with an .OLD extension before
copying the new file. (Use if you update a file but want to
keep a copy of the old one.)
/S Specify a search for outdated files in all subdirectories of
the destination path.
