Vital Signs 1.7.02 - UNIX Update Instructions

These instructions are valid if you are upgrading from Version 1.6 or a previous 1.7 version. Contact Vital Soft support for assistance if you are upgrading from Version 1.5 or earlier.

Backup the Existing vsdata Directory

  • Create a backup of the current setup:
login askplus  
cd /ASKPLUS
cp -Rp vsdata vsdata-bkup-yyyymmdd
  • Remove any old backup directories that are no longer needed
# Be careful, this command deletes all files and sub-directories from the specified directory
rm -R old-bkup-dir

Install New UNIX Job/Script Files

We recommend that you right-click and choose "Download linked file as..." (or the equivalent option) as this should prevent your browser from automatically unzipping the file during the download.

  • Transfer (binary) the gz file to the /ASKPLUS directory on the UNIX system and then extract the files.
 
  #Confirm that you are in /ASKPLUS
  pwd
  # Transfer (using binary) the gz file to the /ASKPLUS directory
  # Unzip the files
  gunzip VSIGNS-UNIX-1702.gz
  tar -xvf VSIGNS-UNIX-1702
