Using WSUPDATE to Update Files on Client

Workstations

The WSUPDATE utility allows you to copy updates of ﬁles to client

workstations automatically, either at the command line or from a login script

or proﬁle.

Updating Files from the Command Line

Prerequisites

Before you load WSUPDATE, ensure that

• The files that are copied to the workstation reside in the same directory as the

WSUPDATE utility (the default is SYS:PUBLIC)

• Each workstation you want to update files on has a drive mapped to

SYS:PUBLIC

Procedure

1 Copy the new files to the SYS:PUBLIC directory.

2 Change to the network drive that is mapped to the PUBLIC subdirectory.

For example, if you mapped network drive G: to PUBLIC, type

G: <Enter>

3 Load WSUPDATE and specify the file and path you want updated.

For example, you might type

WSUPDATE /F=C:\NE2000.COM <Enter>

The /F option lets you specify the ﬁle location.

Updating Files from a Login Script or Profile

You can add the WSUPDATE command to a system login script or container

proﬁle for updating ﬁles on client workstations.
