https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/security-patches-keeping-up-to-date/m-p/2416581#M765087 Are you looking for more info than is provided by swlist? There are numerous <BR />switches you can use with it to provide different sets of info.<BR /><BR />It wouldn't be too hard to write a little script that would run an swlist and <BR />extract only the patches' names into a list. You could then have it run a diff <BR />between that list and one you set up containing the patches you are concerned <BR />about.
