Upgrade????? Was: Why does this fail?

[Jon Alperin]

Okay....I gotta be more specific next time....I received a number of separate fixes, all of which DID NOT contain a new /unix. Yet IBM has always said to apply the fix (which meant simply copying a file) and rebotting the machine to that somewhere in a .rc script the file would get read/executed. My gripe is that I cannot afford to take down systems (especially in a distributed environment w/YP, NFS, NCS, as well as my own distributed applications) just to get the file re-read. I would love to see IBM simp








ly tell me what commands from the .rc scripts I should re-execute.
