Hi:

# gzip -d /tmp/hpux*.tgz
# tar -xvf /tmp/hpux*.tar

This will deposit a script called '/tmp/create_depot_hp-ux_11'. Run it to create '/tmp/depot'. Then:

# swinstall -s /tmp/depot -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true

Regards!

Buy a pipeline? They're cheap.

gzip -dc /tmp/hpux*.tgz | tar -xf -

I find that "v" in a "tar" command often
spews so much stuff that any real problems
are obscured.

.tgz=tar+gzip

so first have to unzip it with
gunzip
then untar it.

Hi Navin,

just execute the following commands:

# gzip -d /tmp/hpux*.tgz
# tar -xvf /tmp/hpux*.tar
