version and patches

How can I find out exactly what version of HP-UX I am running, and which patches have already been installed?

Hi Jason:

# uname -a

# swlist -l product

Hi Jason:

Oops. "swlist -l fileset" is better.

If you're running HP-UX 11.00, also check /usr/contrib/bin for the show_patches script. If you have it, this script will give you a listing of which patches are currently active on your system.

If you want to see just patches do a:

swlist -l fileset | grep PH

All patches begin with PH, so the grep will pull what you need. If you do not grep for PH then you will see ALL filesets installed on your system, all OS filesets and application filesets, not just patches. You can also pipe that to more so you can look at it or you can send the output to a file.

swlist -l fileset | grep PH | more

swlist -l fileset | grep PH > /tmp/patch.list
