Patent ID: 7971200

Claim:
A method of repairing an applying computer code, comprising: setting a relevant unset variable to avoid an un-initialized command failure; unsetting a relevant set variable to render a second invocation of the set variable to appear as a first invocation; retrieving a fix-named file containing a plurality of code entries organized in a stanza style; executing the fix-named file, wherein the plurality of stanza-style entries are sourced by a defective self-sustained code-upgrade code to change a variable which has been previously set, thereby overriding an existing process; creating a backdoor technique dynamically by configuring a new code-load code command to repair without replacing the defective self-sustained code-upgrade code coming-from code-load code; terminating at least one relevant running process affecting the correct execution of the new code-load code command; and executing the defective self-sustained code-upgrade code successfully.
