Reboot needed or not ?

[Tan Hui]

A simple question. Whether it need reboot the system or not, when I install GlancePlus and MeasureWare.

[Carlos Fernandez Riera]

I think not.

But you can read install procedure, or by using swinstall , see if it needs reboot.

[harry d brown jr]

It does not require a reboot.

Hi,

Nope!

No.

But if you're ever curious, use swinstall to go thru the process up to actually installing the software. swinstall will give you a chance to back out of an install if a reboot is required.

[Roger Baptiste]

Simple Answer - No.
FOr starting measureware after install,
do
#mwa status (checks to see whether it is running)

# mwa start (start it if it is not)

Hi Tan,

I think the system needs a reboot if you install Glanceplus / Measureware.

hope this helps.

Hi
If you are installing some additional patches with it, that might need reboot. Only glance/mwa installation will not need rebooting machine.

Thaks.

One thing you can do to check whether a package needs a reboot or not is to query the package using swlist.

/usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset -a is_reboot -d .\* @ /cdrom

If one of the filesets returns true then it needs a reboot...

(In theory you should just be able to put the product name, but it doesn't seem to work - just listing the product name - sigh!)
