The Aloha 'refresh' software flag will only work in a supersite environment.
It may be possible to manually copy files to data from newdata if a stop file is copied to the tmp\directory but im not sure if it will update the terminals with the new data, worth a try I guess.
It is probably not necessary. I was using it because it seemed a cleaner way to do it. It also gave me a forced pause to allow the terminals to all realize that there was a stop file present.
I cannot remember for sure but I think doing it this way updated all of the files in Data including aloha.ini and all .cfg files versus only updating the .dbf's.
Thanks for the help. I've written a process (4 batch files) that allow me to quickly/easily backup the current data, copy out updated files (pro.dbf, itm.dbf, cat/cit.dbf, etc.) to newdata, delete indexes, and then run a refresh. It makes it extremely easy to distribute menu updates.
