Answers and suggestions:
Most peolpe replied with scripts that they had written and run though
cron and rc2/3.d
I will send these if any one want them. I have had time to go though
them totally ..
They want patches to be installed in a depo on a server somewhere and
export to all machines.( This I already do )
Then the scripts mount and install the necessary patches from a list.

>Thank you for raising this issue. I've already been searching for useful
>tools for this, but nothing of the following was really complete for me:
1. fastpatch.pl from ftp://ftp.wins.uva.nl:/pub/solaris/auto-install/
(Casper Dirk) - fast install (replacement for installpatch/patchadd)
2. 'patchdiag' from the Sunsolve CDs - analyze
3. 'patchinstall' from the Sunsolve CDs - comfortable install
4. PatchReport 2.x from http://www.cs.duke.edu/~wjs/pr.html
(Joe Shamblin) - analyze and download
Thanks to all I will let you know what I finally do
