4 .1.8.2.4 . Upd ating Fro m th e Command Lin e
Like the website, command line use of the Red Hat Up d at e Agent is affected by the limitations of
UNIX package management. That said, most core functions can still be accomplished through the
up2d ate command. The most significant difference is the absence of all options regarding source
files. See Section 4.1.8.2.4, “Updating From the Command Line” for the precise list of options
available for UNIX systems.
The command line version of the Red Hat Up d at e Agent accepts the following arguments on UNIX
