Update Manager Graphical User Interface

Update Manager offers a graphical user interface for updating systems with updates. You can use the GUI to analyze your system, apply updates you select, remove updates, and configure your update management environment.

As of June 2006, the Update Manager GUI has an updated GNOME Graphics Tool Kit (GTK+) look and feel. Update Manager now has these new features:

The Help pull-down menu has an Icon Legend option and an About option. The Icon Legend dialog box contains a list and description of the icons used in the Update Manager GUI. The About dialog box provides information about the current release of theSun Update Connection System.
Print and Save As options are available for Installed Updates, Available Updates, and README files from the File pull-down menu.
Available Update and Installed Update windows have been redesigned to be more user-friendly.
The Manage at Sun Update Connection link is now located above the table of updates in the right corner of the Update Manager window.
Many new icons have been integrated into Update Manager, including new status notification icons. See Chapter 4, Managing Solaris Updates by Using the Update Manager GUIfor more information.
