Using swlist to find recently installed patches

[Tom Wolf_3]

Hello, we applied some patches a few days ago to one of our HP-UX 11.11 servers using swinstall. I now need to generate a list of all the patches that were installed at that time. Rather than parsing through the swinstall and swagent logs, I was hoping I could use some variation of the swlist command to generate a listing of all the patches I installed a few days ago. I looked at the attributes for software distributor but didn't see one that specified an installation date.

Does anyone have suggestions for getting this list of recently installed patches?


Thanks in advance.

Hi Tom:

# swlist -l product -a date

If you are listing product attributes use install_date.

From man page of sd(4) http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90682/sd.4.html :

install_date The installation date of the product or bundle.

Try:

swlist -l product -a install_date *,c=patch
