A friend of mine (Laurent) talked few days ago about PCA, yet another Solaris patch software. But this one is very interesting, it's only a single perl file (which required only wget). It is very simple to use, but very powerfull. I strongly recommand to Solaris people to test it !
| Update the patchref file | ./pca -x |
|---|---|
| List all uninstalled recommands and security patches | ./pca -ur |
| Download patches (in current directory) | ./pca -d |
| Display the README file of a patch | ./pca -R |
| Apply recommands and security pathes which don't require a reboot | ./pca -rnp |
