how can I find out which patches have been superseded?

Hi,
As the subject says, quick question on how I can find out whether a patch has been superseded by another patch... I'm sure there is a patch lookup patch somewhere on hp.com but I can't find it!
Any ideas please?

thanks.

Go to the itrc site, individual patches.

Good luck

Nik:

Choose Maintenance and Support (here on the ITRC) -> Individual Patches -> hp-ux. If you select a patch that has been superseded you will be directed to its successor.

Nik,

There is also a tool available on the ITRC site, Custom Patch Manager, which will check all your installed patches.
To have access to this, you need to have a support contract.
