Installation notes for system process.#1. Download a bundle from the Latest Software Updates page. 2. Compare the cksum result with the checksum posted on the Latest Software Updates page. # cksum <app_name>.YYYYMMDD.tar.gz 3. Unpack the bundle: # zcat <app_name>.YYYYMMDD.tar.gz | tar x 4. Backup the existing file. If you wish to keep a copy of the existing utility, you'll need to save it to a safe location first, to prevent it from being overwritten during installation. # cp -vc /bin/<app_name> /bin/<app_name>.`date +"%y%m%d_%H%M%S"` 5. Copy the updated application to the /bin directory: # cp <app_name> /bin
Please note that some system utilities are placed in /usr/bin directory instead of /bin. Use correct path on steps 4 and 5.
