    How To Update the EGSE's With New Patches or Backup to Old Patches
    -------------------------------------------------------------------


- To see what upgrades have been done:

  http://www.space.lockheed.com/EGSE/readme_files/index.html
                                

- You must be root to do this:

        execute /mdisw/bin/update_tasks

        Follow the script and when it asks you to verify that the operator 
        actions have been done you can pop up the window to display the 
        operator actions that need to be done.  When they are finished, the 
        script will prompt you to shut down the cfl manager by hitting the 
        stop cfl manager button on the cfl monitor under egse on the toolchest.
        Hit exit on clf monitor after the cfl manager has been stopped.  Once 
        the upgrade has been processed, the script will prompt you to start the
        clf manager.  Go to the clf monitor and hit start cfl manager.

        If there are any problems, call RogerC.

There may be operator actions that need to be performed *PRIOR*   
to starting up this version of the EGSE software after it is      
installed. Make certain that these actions are well understood or 
have already been done prior to continuing.                       
                                                                  
The operating characteristics of the EGSE *MAY* have changed.     
Documentation on the changes made to the EGSE software for this   
patch are with the operator actions in the README file.
