What pro refresh does#
When you run the pro refresh command on your machine, three distinct stages
are performed.
Contract#
First, the contract information on the machine is refreshed. If we find any difference between the old contract and the new one, we process those differences and apply any changes to the machine.
If you need only this stage during refresh, run pro refresh contract.
Configuration#
If there is any config change made to /etc/ubuntu-advantage/uaclient.conf,
those changes will now be applied to the machine.
If you need only this stage during refresh, run pro refresh config.
MOTD and APT messages#
Processes new Message of the Day (MOTD) and Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) messages, and refreshes the machine to use them.
If you need only this stage during refresh, run pro refresh messages.
