Installing patch

Paul Carey_1 — Wed, 07 Jan 2004 17:36:21 GMT

Trying to install a patch with multiple dependent patches. Tried to run create_depot as per the patch instructions to no avail. When I run: find / -name create* I do not find a create_depot
Any help is very much appreciated. I do not have a GUI component on my HP-UX box.

If you have all of the patches in the one directory e.g.

# mkdir /tmp/patch
# for i in PH*.depot
> do
> echo $i
> swcopy -s ${PWD}/$i \* @ /tmp/patch
> done
Then run swinstall, and use the /tmp/patch as your depot.

try the instruction:
find / -name "create*" -print

With "", find works correctly
