swinstall preview - reboot info?

[Michael Ernstoff]

I have a bundle of patches I need to install on servers running HP-UX 11i
I need to know whether a reboot will be required so that I can schedule this.
I ran swinstall -p, and there is no mention of reboot in the logfile.
Can anyone tell me if reboot information would be given in the log file, or can I take it that a reboot will not be required?

swlist -a readme -d "patch"

This will give readme file, which has this information.

also swlist -v -d "patch" will also give it.
The txt file that comes with patch also gives it.

It is actually a depot, rather than individual patches.

swlist -v -d @ "/dir/depot"
should give what you want.

# swlist -l fileset -a is_reboot -s /tmp/your.depot

# swlist -l product -a readme -s /tmp/your.depot
