DESCRIPTION
dbupdate is a shell script for updating F-Secure Security Platform Virus Definition
Databases. It can update databases downloaded by F-Secure Automatic Update
Agent (a fully automatic background process) or databases transferred to the host by
other means (such as ftp). Before databases are updated, dbupdate performs the
necessary validation for databases to prevent any corrupted or tampered databases
to be taken into use.
ON DEMAND UPDATE OVER NETWORK
Use the dbupdate command (without any parameters) if there is a need to check
new database updates immediately over the network and take new databases into
use.
Show the short help of command line options and exit.
Do not download databases synchronously but update data-
bases previously downloaded by F-Secure Automatic Update
Agent. Used for fully automatic database updates.
