I'll give you an example from one of my machines

Quote:

root.slimjim /usr/jdk# which java
/usr/bin/java
root.anotherserver /usr/jdk# ls -al /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16 Jul 7 2006 /usr/bin/java -> ../java/bin/java
root.shouldfindbetternames /usr# ls -al java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 15 Apr 17 2010 java -> jdk/jdk1.5.0_23

So java bin points to /usr/java which points to /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_23

and in the JDK dir I have:

Code:

total 14
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     bin          512 Apr 17  2010 .
drwxr-xr-x  41 root     sys         1024 Sep 20 11:00 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     bin          512 Jul  7  2006 instances
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other          7 Jul  7  2006 j2sdk1.4.2_08 -> ../j2se
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         18 Apr 17  2010 jdk1.5.0_23 -> instances/jdk1.5.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         11 Apr 17  2010 latest -> jdk1.5.0_23
drwxr-xr-x   7 root     bin          512 Jul  7  2006 packages

You could simply change /usr/java to point to /usr/jdk/latest. Because it is ebing changed when you update Java.

Hope this example helps you out.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
