patch command

[Shivkumar]

What is the command to find whether a particular patch has been installed ?

Hi:

# swlist -l patch

[A. Clay Stephenson]

swlist PHCO_26026

This will find PHCO_26026 whether it was installed separately or as part of a bundle.

swlist -l patch

Hi

You would use either

/usr/contrib/bin/show_patches|grep -i PHCO_XXX

or

swlist -l PHXX_XXX

Hi shiv ,

Check this , to see installed patch ,

# swlist -l bundle | grep -i patch_name

# swlist -l product | grep -i patch_name

[ patch_name you have to provide as input ]

Ex: # swlist -l product | grep -i tar
( to see if the tar patch has installed or not ).

Cheers,
Raj.
