Hi Shiv,

As stated above the swlist command will give you the list of patches and filesets installed in its output as stated above. Actually HP level what you are refering to includes three major patch bundles which are released by HP every quarter. These includes

1.HWEnable11i-> B.11.11.0406.4 Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, June 2004

2.GOLDAPPS11i->B.11.11.0406.5 Gold Applications Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, June 2004

3.GOLDBASE11i->B.11.11.0406.5 Gold Base Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, June 2004

The date for which these three bundle's have been installed will decide the date of patch level of your system.For ex. here it displays June 2004. So I can say my system's current patch level in June2004. These bundle's always includes most common patches released since the last release. There are several other patches which you can install based on your specific requirements.

So the single command to list the current level should be

#swlist -l bundle |grep -e HWEnable11i -e GOLDAPPS11i -e GOLDBASE11i

HTH,
Devender
