Q: how to install Cobalt Qube 3 updates from the commandline
A: [ Orginal document from the sun knowledgebase ]
Here's what can be done to apply the updates through command line.
Telnet to the server as admin and su - to root.
Change directory to /home/tmp
Type:ncftp ftp.cobalt.sun.com
cd /pub/packages/qube3/ml
wget the updates
exit
Now backup the file first.
For example:cp Qube3-ml-Update-4.0.pkg Qube3-ml-Update-4.0.pkg.bak
Now type:
/usr/sausalito/sbin/pkg_prepare.pl -i -f /home/tmp/Qube3-ml-Update-4.0.pkg
This will install the update from command line.
