2.3. Command Line Version

If you are not running X, you can still run the Red Hat Update Agent from a virtual
console or remote terminal. If you are running X but want to use the command line version,
you can force it not to display the graphical interface with the following command:
up2date --nox
The command line version of the Red Hat Update Agent allows you to perform advanced
functions or to perform actions with little or no interaction. For example, the following
command updates your system with no interaction. It downloads the newer packages and
installs them if you configured it to do so.
