A smooth way to patch your machines

Daniel K. Gebhart wrote some nice scripts to 'automagically' add patches and keep your systems up to date.

This bundle of scripts called 'patchme' makes sence to use in a network environment with several Solaris machines. One script will compare your currently installed patches with all available patches from SunSolve and build a list of patches you have to install. This list will be copied to the server and optionally also to a client as a fancy web page. Another script has to run on the server and download all the patches you want to install to an NFS-shared directory. Finally the last script installs all the patches on your clients. On Daniel's Solaris page you will also find another script called 'sysup' which enables you to automate the installation on the clients. Have fun!
