To ensure the installation of packages according to specified installation date and time, it is recommended to have JP1/Software Distribution Client automatically execute the rdsupt command. For details on having JP1/Software Distribution Client automatically execute the rdsupt command, see 2.5.2 Scheduled installation.

When you use this command, the value of the PATH environment variable in the user environment must include /bin and /usr/bin. These are already included in the default UNIX environment but be sure to check the value of the PATH environment variable.

This command must be executed by a superuser. If it is executed by a general user, the command terminates in an error. In such a case, first log back in as a superuser, re-issue the job to the target system, and then re-execute this command as a superuser.
