panel brings up the graphical up2date interface. The rhn-applet is the Red Hat

when package updates are available. The panel icon is red with a blinking excla-

up to date.
The format of the up2date command is:
up2date [options] [packages]
There are two additional commands:
up2date-nox [options] [packages]
up2date-config
Running up2date-nox is equivalent to running up2date with the --nox option; it
runs without X (without the graphical interface). up2date-config runs a graphical
tool for configuring up2date. You can also configure the program by editing the
configuration file, /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date, directly. These versions of the
up2date command are not described further here.
