Upgrading Cfengine Nova a Cfengine Special Topics Handbook
Upgrading CFEngine Nova A CFEngine Special Topics Handbook CFEngine AS This document describes how software updates work in CFEngine Nova. ¨ © Copyright c 2010- CFEngine AS 1 v i Table of Contents What does upgrading mean? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 3 Why do I need to upgrade?::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 3 How does upgrading work? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 3 How can I do phased deployment? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 4 What if I have multiple operating system platforms? ::::::::::::::::::: 4 How do Nova policies update if I already have my own policy? ::::::::: 4 Appendix A Manual package upgrade commands ::::::: 5 3 What does upgrading mean? A software upgrade involves obtaining a new version of the CFEngine software from soft- ware.CFEngine.com and installing it in place of the old. When software is updated, the previous version of the software is retained. From version 1.1 of CFEngine Nova, CFEngine is fully capable of managing its own updates ¨ and service restarts with a minimum of manual work on the policy server. Existing users of version 1.0 will need to upgrade the software manually on the affected sys- tems, or use the existing CFEngine to assist in the manual process. Please contact CFEngine Professional Services for for assistance (see Appendix). © Why do I need to upgrade? Bug fixes and new features are included in new software releases. To gain access to these fixes, you need to upgrade the software. Changes to the standard Community Open Promise Body Library might make use of new features, so upgrading brings you access to these new methods. How does upgrading work? CFEngine packages its software in operating sytsem compatible package formats (RPM, PKG, MSI, etc). -

Comparison of Contemporary Real Time Operating Systems
ISSN (Online) 2278-1021 IJARCCE ISSN (Print) 2319 5940 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer and Communication Engineering Vol. 4, Issue 11, November 2015 Comparison of Contemporary Real Time Operating Systems Mr. Sagar Jape1, Mr. Mihir Kulkarni2, Prof.Dipti Pawade3 Student, Bachelors of Engineering, Department of Information Technology, K J Somaiya College of Engineering, Mumbai1,2 Assistant Professor, Department of Information Technology, K J Somaiya College of Engineering, Mumbai3 Abstract: With the advancement in embedded area, importance of real time operating system (RTOS) has been increased to greater extent. Now days for every embedded application low latency, efficient memory utilization and effective scheduling techniques are the basic requirements. Thus in this paper we have attempted to compare some of the real time operating systems. The systems (viz. VxWorks, QNX, Ecos, RTLinux, Windows CE and FreeRTOS) have been selected according to the highest user base criterion. We enlist the peculiar features of the systems with respect to the parameters like scheduling policies, licensing, memory management techniques, etc. and further, compare the selected systems over these parameters. Our effort to formulate the often confused, complex and contradictory pieces of information on contemporary RTOSs into simple, analytical organized structure will provide decisive insights to the reader on the selection process of an RTOS as per his requirements. Keywords:RTOS, VxWorks, QNX, eCOS, RTLinux,Windows CE, FreeRTOS I. INTRODUCTION An operating system (OS) is a set of software that handles designed known as Real Time Operating System (RTOS). computer hardware. Basically it acts as an interface The motive behind RTOS development is to process data between user program and computer hardware. -
