This manual page documents briefly the pushupdate command.
pushupdate is a tool for updating the image on one or more client nodes. It relies on the availability of ssh as a transport layer for communicating with client nodes.
A summary of options is included below.
-helpShow summary of options
-versionDisplay version and copyright information
-client HOSTNAMEHost name of the client you want to update. When used with -continue-install, the name of the client to autoinstall.
-range X-YNumber range used to create a series of host names based on the -client option. For example, "-client www -range 1-3" will cause pushupdate to use www1, www2, and www3 as host names. If no -range is given with -client, then pushupdate assumes that only one client is to be updated.
-domain DOMAINNAMEIf this option is used, DOMAINNAME will be appended to the client host name(s).
-clients-file FILERead host names and images to process from FILE.
-concurrent-processes NNumber of concurrent process to run. If this option is not used, N will default to 1.
-ssh-userUsername for ssh connection to client.
-continue-installHosts should be treated as autoinstall clients waiting for further instruction.
-server HOSTNAMEHostname or IP address of the imageserver. (-imageserver is a deprecated option and will go away soon.)
-image IMAGENAMEImage from which the client should be updated
-directory DIRECTORYAbsolute path of the directory to be updated (defaults to "/")
-noliloDon't run lilo after update completes. (lilo is always run unless specified)
-autoinstallAutoinstall this client the next time it reboots. (can't be run with -nolilo)
-configure-from DEVICEOnly used with -autoinstall. Stores the network configuration for DEVICE in the /local.cfg file so that the same settings will be used during the autoinstall process.
-rebootReboot client after update completes
-log "STRING"Quoted string for log file format. See the rsyncd.conf man page for options.
