Overview
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.

-client HOSTNAME -
Host name of the client you want to update. When used with -continue-install, the name of the client to autoinstall.
-
-range X-Y -
Number 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 DOMAINNAME -
If this option is used, DOMAINNAME will be appended to the client host name(s).
-
-clients-file FILE -
Read host names and images to process from FILE.
-

Number of concurrent process to run. If this option is not used, N will default to 1.

Autoinstall this client the next time it reboots. (can't be run with -nolilo)
