AccuRev® Command-Line Reference : upgrade_client

upgrade_client
upgrade the AccuRev client
Usage
accurev upgrade [ -f ] [ -s ]
Description
The upgrade_client command compares the AccuRev Server protocol with the AccuRev client protocol. If these protocols are different, AccuRev automatically downloads the AccuRev client installation package that your AccuRev administrator has placed on the AccuRev Server. If they are the same, AccuRev displays a message indicating that the AccuRev client is up to date and that there is no reason to upgrade.
Note that a protocol is not the same as a version. For example, the AccuRev Server and client might have a different version even if they have the same protocol.
If you run upgrade_client -f, AccuRev automatically downloads the AccuRev client installation package without checking for a protocol mismatch. When you force an upgrade of the AccuRev client in this way, it is possible, though unlikely, that you might be installing an older version of the AccuRev client than the one you are currently running. This can happen if your AccuRev administrator has not placed the newer AccuRev client installation package on the server.
Options
-f
Force AccuRev to download the AccuRev client installation package without first checking the AccuRev Server and client protocols.
-s
After downloading the AccuRev client installation package, perform an unattended (or “silent”) installation.
Examples
Check the AccuRev Server and client protocols, and download the client installation package from the AccuRev Server only if necessary:
> accurev upgrade_client
Download the client installation package from the AccuRev Server without first checking the AccuRev Server and client protocols:
> accurev upgrade_client -f
Download the client installation package from the AccuRev Server without first checking the AccuRev Server and client protocols, and then install the AccuRev client installation package silently:
> accurev upgrade_client -f -s
