[arm-allstar] UPDATE fix now out!

[LaRoy McCann]

2nd update
Doug,
I just updated a 4th system.  Without doing a reboot after the update, I
opened a 2nd ssh session and it did not start the menu.
I looked at the directory and .bash_profile does not exist.  There is
.bash_profile.packsave.  So something is not finishing during the update.
