this command does NOT work from the beginning ...
yes, you'll build a new .toc file
however, if you grep for the IY ... you won't show any specific b or B for that IY.
we need a "perfect solution" that can tell us ahead of time without installing the fix into the system. of course when you do it manually, the system will inform us to reboot -- this is not the desired approach.
IYXXXXX ... what command or work around will allow us to know if this needs a reboot to take effect?
hope this clarifies the question? thanks!

reboot
REBOOT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual REBOOT(8)
NAME
reboot, halt -- stopping and restarting the system
SYNOPSIS
halt [-lnq]
reboot [-lnq]
DESCRIPTION
The halt and reboot utilities flush the file system cache to disk, send all running processes a SIGTERM (and subsequently a SIGKILL) and,
respectively, halt or restart the system. The action is logged, including entering a shutdown record into the wtmp(5) file.
The options are as follows:
-l The halt or reboot is not logged to the system log. This option is intended for applications such as shutdown(8), that call reboot
or halt and log this themselves.
-n The file system cache is not flushed. This option should probably not be used.
-q The system is halted or restarted quickly and ungracefully, and only the flushing of the file system cache is performed (if the -n
option is not specified). This option should probably not be used.
Normally, the shutdown(8) utility is used when the system needs to be halted or restarted, giving users advance warning of their impending
doom and cleanly terminating specific programs.
SEE ALSO
wtmp(5), shutdown(8), sync(8)

A reboot utility appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
