Re: PATCHES

hi,

try this:

# swlist -l patch|grep -i

or search from /var/adm/sw/save if the patch is installed.

regards.

Re: PATCHES

Hi,

#/usr/contrib/bin/show_patches

will only list patches. Match the output with the required number.

Re: PATCHES

You can check as,

# swlist -l patch | grep 'string of patch'

Re: PATCHES

show_patches is a front-end to swlist utility. It is generating patch list based patch_state as,
commited, superseded or applied.

# swlist -l patch -a patch_state=

hth.

Re: PATCHES

identify patches already installed:

/usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset -a patch_state *.*, c=patch | grep -v superseded
