NAME

update − periodically update the super block

SYNOPSIS

/etc/update

DESCRIPTION

Update is a program that executes the sync(2) primitive every 30 seconds. This insures that the file system is fairly up to date in case of a crash. This command should not be executed directly, but should be executed out of the initialization shell command file.
