Patching:

[Nobody's Hero]

Ok, I am familiar with patching:
security_patch_check, quality packs, golds, the works.

I am trying to start a baseline for a certain level that all our unix 11.11 systems should be at.

For example. In solaris I can enter 'showrev -p' and it will return the kernel version.

How can I, from a simple command, take a quick look to see if my systems are at a certain kernel version? Can someone show me what the output looks like?

I no longer have access to an HP-UX system.

Thanks.

Hi,

one corresponding command to 'showrev -p' (with the - possible - same huge amount of information) could be

swlist 'PH*'

I need to know if there is a way to check for a kernel version? I wanted to see just something like a one liner stating what my generic kernel version is?

[DCE]

swlist -l bundle | grep i gold

will list the the OS patch


swlist -l bundle | grep -i enablement

will show harware enablement patch level

Hi,

since there is not only one file the kernel is built from, the is no one-liner.
Solaris 'uname -v' (not showrev -p) is a very rough and doubtful guess for this information, IMHO.

You can try
swlist 'PHKL*' | fgrep -i kernel

to get a less amount of information at a HP-UX box and 'fewer distance' to kernel patches.

DCE,

Can you post the output of the commands you recommend? I dont have an HPUX system right now.
