Hi: Thanks to Wolfgang, Kevin and 2 other admins (whose name wasn't obvious-thanks but) * patchk.pl : perl script has the ability to write the output to html which allows you create a tar ball of outstanding patches. * I use my own slightly modified version of patchk.pl (it's a Perl script, so hack away!). Given that the admins will *always* need to review the patch READMEs to decide which patches are worth applying, I simply run patchk.pl on a few sample machines (not the same each time), then look at the emails and investigate those patches that appear to be relevant. * I suppose I should keep a database of patches I've already reviewed, and modify patchk.pl to flag those patches as "already looked at" in the report, but it hasn't been a high enough priority yet. * http://patchpro.sun.com/servlet/com.sun.patchpro.servlet.PatchProServlet * we use this for automation of patches # G A S P ! # Georgetown Automated Solaris Patchtool # Automated Solaris patch downloads from Sunsolve. thanks to all John ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Rams" <drdrdrdr@dr.com> Date: Tue, 04 Jun 2002 14:44:42 -0500 To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: Patch Automation tolls: patchdiag, patchcheck > Admins: > > For solaris patch automation,how do you rate these 2 tools patchdiag, patchcheck (just an enhaned patchdiag).
