How to update OpenSuse11 from terminal?

[vasiauvi]

Hello all.
I have to say that i am an Ubuntu(on my PC) user and also an OpenSuse(on my laptop) user. On Ubuntu, to update my programms i write:

sudo apt-get update

and Ubuntu update my programms.
For OpenSuse 11 i have found this link:
Software Management Command Line Comparison - openSUSE
and i have used also :

su
apt-get update

but no updates were availables.
I have to say that from 2-3 weeks no updates appeared to be installed.
How can i see if my update command it's really working?
Thank you!!

Easy

sudo zypper dup

[ken_yap]

dup or up?

dup I believe is distro update, e.g. 11.0 to 11.1.

I have used

sudo zypper dup

and it seems that some applications were updated.
Were some conflicts in the dependencies but i have choosed "Solution 3: Ignore some dependencies of ...".
I don't know if this is bad or wrong but....i will see.

The usual CLI method:

zypper refresh
zypper up

I'm more bothered about 10.2 than 11.0 but is there an equivalent to YaST |
Software Management | Package Groups | zzzAll | (RMB) All in this list |
update if newer version available ?

Am I right in that

# zypper refresh
# zypper up -t package

would do this?

Yes, AFAIK that would do the job.
