Linux RT startup.rtexe replacement without Network Connection

[RVallieu]

I have some systems that are running a 9651 SOM and some on sbRIO that are NOT connected via Ethernet to each other that need to have their RTEXE replaced as part of field upgrades.

We can transfer the files via CAN or Serial to the units when running the existing startup.rtexe but I don't think the running application in Linux can replace its own copy on disk while it is running.  Am I wrong and the RTEXE can be replaced on Linux when the application is running?

Any suggestions on how to replace a startup.rtexe without Ethernet connection once the new file has been transfered?
