Time Consuming Upgrades

Centralized computing makes it so difficult to upgrade hundreds of users to the latest release of the ever exploited Adobe Acrobat Reader. :)

browser:/u # ls -lad acro*
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 13 14:08 acrobat_9301
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 23 10:29 acrobat_9310
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 23 13:32 acrobat_9321
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 30 16:06 acrobat_9331
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 23 13:33 acrobat_9_live -> acrobat_9321
browser:/u # rm acrobat_9_live
browser:/u # ln -s acrobat_9331 acrobat_9_live

and then push the reader into Firefox

browser:/u/acrobat_9331/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux # cp nppdf.so /u/firefox3_sound/firefox/plugins/
browser:/u/acrobat_9331/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux # cp nppdf.so /u/firefox3_nosound/firefox/plugins/
browser:/u/acrobat_9331/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux # cp nppdf.so /u/firefox3_noflash/firefox/plugins/

All done. :)
