Subject:	Command line equivalent of setup.exe ?

Has anyone created a command line equivalent to
setup.exe ?  There are times when I would like to
perform updates remotely just using ssh.  Is this
practical?  One issue is replacing cygwin dll
while it is in use as I recall.

I know that I could simply copy and extract the
bz2 files but I would like to have the
installed.db file maintained and some dependency
checking that setup.exe does.  Sounds like rpm...

Thanks - Jim
