Optional update
The optional update reflects changes that are not necessary for program
functionality – texts, updates of the setup component, etc. Optional updates
can be downloaded and applied together with recommended updates but the
timeliness of implementing them is not urgent.
Note: For e-mail servers in general it is strictly recommended to perform the
priority update approximately every two hours! The recommended update should be
performed at least once a day or on-demand.
You can review the performed update information in the update log file
avg7upd.log that is to be found in the
/opt/grisoft/avg7/var/update/log
directory.
The avgupdate command is a tool for complex control over the on-demand update
process. The update in general can be performed by launching this command. The
update properties are controlled using the command options, which are listed in the
table below. General syntax of the command is:
$ avgupdate [options] [path|list]
The [path|list] string stands for the path of the explicitly given update files (or for
the list of these update files separated by the space character).
Note: Although the avgupdate command itself can manage only the on-demand
update, you can also use it to create scheduled updates by incorporating the cron
Linux system utility. See the manual pages (man [cron|crontab]) or the respective
documentation for detailed information.
