Re: installed, works, resolved connectivity issue, now ....how to get it to actually update.

cool!  thanks for the quick response.  i'll try it in a few.  so if previously installed i don't need to specify a package and it should detect based on the inventory.  if it is a new rpm i have to specify a name.  in a widely distributed net with hundreds of nodes is there another way to do an install of a new rpm without remoting to each?

thanks.
