update rhel4 packages

You can use "update -u" to update the packages on RHEL4.

If it does not give you any indication of package updation try to clear cache (rm -rf /var/spool/up2date/*) and fire above command again.

Even if above method doesnt work. Login to your respective rhn satellite.
1. Select Critical, Non-critical packages.
2. Select All.
3. at the bottom, select update packages
4. then confirm.
5. ssh to the respective system, and run "rhn_update -vvv". It should show updating package details.
