However, you may not want the patches to be installed automatically, but may want to
retrieve them and select the patches for installation at a later time. To download patches
only, use the rug up -dy command. The up -dy option downloads the patches
from your catalogs without confirmation and saves them to the rug cache. The default
location of the rug cache is /var/cache/zmd.
8.14.6 Configuring rug
rug allows you to customize its setup via a set of preferences. Some of them are pre-
configured during installation. Use rug get command to get a list of the preferences
available. To edit a preference, enter rug set preference. For example, adjust
settings if you need to update your system through a proxy. Before downloading the
updates, send your username and password to the proxy server. To do so, use the fol-
lowing commands:
rug set proxy-url url_path
rug set proxy-username name
rug set proxy-password password
Replace url_path by the name of your proxy server. Replace name by your username.
Replace password by your password.
8.14.7 For More Information
For more information about updating from the command line, enter rug --help or
see the rug(1) man page. The --help option is also available for all rug commands.
If, for example, you need help for rug update, enter rug update --help.
