No problem, hopefully this helps someone use use a *nix based OS to run
ColdFusion. I actually prefer GUI-less servers for hosting web apps, but
I find some COTS software vendors tend to count those users as a
minority when it comes to installers, etc. I was happy to find some
documentation regarding this type of patch application.

Ah, got it now. I missed that this was a silent install. Thanks for

Ok, so two completely separate items really. Sorry to confuse the two.
First, this:
java -jar hotfix_005.jar -i silent -f properties.txt
I have to do this because I need a way to update CF 10 with the
appropriate hotfixes on Solaris. It's a DoD server under strict
control. Could I use a remote X session to blow back the GUI to my
desktop using Cygwin or something? I suppose, but it seems like
overkill does it not? So double clicking on the jar file to execute it
is out of the question. I can't remember where, but I found some Adobe
documentation regarding the patching of CF 10. They did mention this
java command above. Here is what I put in the properties.txt file BTW:
INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/web/cf10
DOC_ROOT=/web/cf10/cfusion/wwwroot
I'd be willing to bet $10 that is how the CF Administrator actually
installs the hotfixes as well.
The second issue is the end of line character. *nix and Windows do it
differently. I forget the specifics, but if I'm not mistaken, Windows
uses two different characters and *nix uses one. So, I wrote the
properties.txt file on my Windows 7 workstation in notepad and scp'd
it over to the Solaris box. It borked the hotfix install because the
installer wasn't applying the patches to the correct directories. It
was adding what looked like a "space" character to the end of the
path, so the actual path looked like:
/web/cf10 /cfusion/wwwroot
That was bad :) Running dos2unix on Solaris fixed it up and I'm now
good to go.
