Woe is me

Upgrading with yum
To upgrade with yum
1
Login to the op5 Monitor server via ssh as the root user.
2
Check what packages that is pending for upgrade by execute:
yum check-update
3
If you want to apply the upgraded packages execute:
yum update
These are instructions from a commercial product we have. They provide repositories for the software to provide easier upgrade.

As a note this is definitely not the way to do it. This will update your entire system. I queried how to do this, and they effectively didn't know. The only method they have is to install the new version over the top. Wicked.
