Hi

Try

swlist | more

This will show you most things or if you just want pathces

swlist -l product

Checkout man swlist.

Cheers

You may like to check /usr/sbin/swinstall -l fileset | grep PH ?


As to when it was installed view the SD log files in /var/adm/sw ..... ?

more info in the man page for swinstall .

Hi,

On hp-ux 11.x the best way to check
what patches are active on a system is
by using the following command:

/usr/contrib/bin/show_patches

If you do not have the show_patches command, please install the patch

PHCO_24347 (hp-ux 11.00)
or
PHCO_24630 (hp-ux 11.11)

Unlike a swlist -l fileset | grep PH
show_patches will give you the patches
that are active on the system.
swlist will also list superseded patches

But i found the output of swlist is not match the file of '/var/adm/sw/products' , does the output of swlist is the existing patch in the system? Thanks.
