Determining patches installed???

[Randy Jew]

HOw do you determine what patches are installed on your system?? I'm running HP-UX 11.0

The swlist command will help you determine what software (patches included!) is installed on your system. Do a 'man swlist' to see all of its options.

I suggest using 'swlist -l product | grep $PATCH_YOU_ARE_LOOKING_FOR' to find the patches you are looking for.

Good Luck!

To deterimie which patches use:
swlist -l product | grep
To determine if all patches are installed and configured use:
swlist -l fileset -a state | grep inst
This will show all installed, but not configured filesets, hence if you get an outpur something is wrong !

To get a summary of just patches, you can search for PH as in:

swist -l fileset -a state | grep PH

The -a state option will show whether the patch is configured (ie, completely installed).
