attention, i examined the package a bit (not yet installed) : 

1)the package has it`s own upgrade script
2 the packing_list contains the argument "reboot"

so i assume that a reboot is REQUIRED; although i could not find any
kernel upgrades in the package

i don`t know if the /usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade script does the job
right (there may be some reason for it`s own upgrade script...); i
didn`t compare them.

a more simple way to download the package directly to the server is :

1. create an appropriate directory, e.g. /tmp/update or
/home/sites/home/users/admin/upgrade
2. cd /tmp/update or /home/sites/home/users/admin/upgrade
3. wget
ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/packages/raq3/eng/RaQ3-en-OSUpdate-3.0.pkg
4. wait a bit 
5. done
