****************************************************************************** patchinstall - VnmrJ / VNMR Patch Installation Utility ****************************************************************************** "patchinstall" allows to install a patch onto existing / preinstalled VnmrJ or VNMR software. VnmrJ and VNMR patches are being distributed to our users through the Varian NMR "VnmrJ and VNMR Patches" Web page at http://www.varianinc.com/products/nmr/software/patches/ Please visit that Web site for more details. Before installing a patch you should carefully read the description and installation details contained within the patch Readme file which is provided with every patch. You need to be logged in as the "owner" of the software (typically "vnmr1") to install a VnmrJ or VNMR patch. "patchinstall" is called as follows: patchinstall "full name of the patch file" Example: patchinstall 2.1BallLNXino101.tar.Z If the patch is not in your working directory you need to specify the full path, e.g.: patchinstall /export/home/johndoe/temp/2.1BallLNXino101.tar.Z The name of the patchinstall argument / name of the patch file follows a very strict pattern - it is always 16 characters long and followed by a ".tar.Z" suffix, e.g.: 2.1BallLNXino101.tar.Z Where: 2.1B is the VnmrJ or VNMR software version (digit, dot, digit, upper-case character) acq is the category / subdirectory under the "/vnmr" software directory, such as "acq", "adm", "mac" (for maclib), "psg", etc. (must be 3 lower-case characters); special cases: "gen" (generic) is for jumbo patch, "all" is a different type of multi-purpose patch LNX specifies the operating system (must be 3 upper-case characters). Examples: "LNX" for Linux "SOL" for Solaris "AIX" for IBM AIX "IRI" for SGI IRIX "ANY" for a patch that is not designed for a specific operating system ino specifies the instrument type / architecture (must be 3 lower case characters); can be any of "vnm" for Varian NMR System or a Varian MRI System (DirectDrive architecture) "ino" for UNITY INOVA "upl" for UNITYplus "uni" for UNITY "mpl" for MERCURYplus "mvx" for MERCURY-Vx "mer" for MERCURY "gem" for GEMINI 2000 "all" for a patch that is not architecture-specific 101 is the count, from anywhere within 3 digit range (3 digits) .tar.Z the patched file is tarred and compressed ("Z" must be upper case) Note that some download methods (e.g., if you download via a computer running MS Windows), the filename may be converted to all lower-case or all upper-case characters. In such a case the patch installation will fail unless you first rename the patch file to follow the above convention, e.g.: mv 2.1balllnxino101.tar.z 2.1BallLNXino101.tar.Z The "patchinstall" utility is designed to simplify the patching process. It will install and keep a record of the patched installation internally, for future use, without further intervention by the user.
