QChainable packages

[Penny Patch]

Hi all,

Do we have anything like QChain.exe(Like in windows) in Unix to have a single reboot after installing multiple hotfixes or service packs?

Thanks.

Penny,

You use swcopy to put all the patches into a depot from which they can all be installed at once with just a single reboot.

It's called creating depot by swcopy command

man swcopy for more...

Also read /usr/share/doc/patch_pgrm.txt

swcopy is the best bet.

Thanks guys! But I want to know about such a tool in general not particular for HP-UX.

Thanks.

[Jeff Schussele]

generally for what?

Penny,

Since this is a HP-UX forum, you're probably not going to get much other than HP-UX answers. What sort of platform did you have in mind?

Pete,

I'm looking for all unix Operating systems like solaris, HP-UX, AIX etc...

Thanks.

Penny,

I don't think there's a global answer. Each has their own ways of doing things.
