We are using Redhat4 & Redhat5 and using suse 9 & 10.
For suse, we can find the currently installed patch level (like patch level 1, 2 , 3 ...)using below commands.
Ex 1:
# cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
VERSION = 10
PATCHLEVEL = 2
Ex 2:
suse10tst:~ # SPident -vv
Summary (using 974 packages)
Product/ServicePack conflict match update (shipped)
SLE-10-x86_64 0 0% 358 36.8% 0 (2754 13.0%)
SLE-10-x86_64-SP1 0 0% 506 52.0% 0 (2938 17.2%)
SLE-10-x86_64-SP2 0 0% 971 99.7% 0 (2337 41.5%)
Unknown 3 0.3%
Legend for Package Details:
- conflicting package (found < expected)
CONCLUSION: System is up-to-date!
found SLE-10-x86_64-SP2
Like above, i want to see the currently installed patch level for Redhat.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: How to find the currently installed patch level of Redhat Linux
Closest thing to this you can get under any RHEL release is, using the command
uname -r
which will give you your kernel release version.
Hope this helps
UNIX because I majored in cryptology...

Solutioncat /etc/redhat-release
you will now know which update you are on, which is interesting because some soft/hardware only support RH from a certain update (for example RH 4.6 means Red Hat 4 Update 6).
however it is possible that fixes for certain pakcages are installed as well. you see, there is no concept of 'patch' on linux package management. typicaly a replacement package is released and the version information will by different.
for example:
screen-4.0.2-5 is replaced with screen-4.0.2-6 (the package iteration is noted after the last '-').
if you want to know if there are packages available, you should use up2date or yum to querry the repositories.
