See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Updated: 04/10/01 Use swcopy(1M) on each patch to copy the patch into a local depot, then use swinstall(1M) to install all patches contained in the local depot. # swcopy -s /tmp/PHCO_12345.depot -x enforce_dependencies=false \* \ @ /tmp/my_patch_depot # swcopy -s /tmp/PHCO_67890.depot -x enforce_dependencies=false \* \ @ /tmp/my_patch_depot etc.. # swinstall -s /tmp/my_patch_depot -x autoreboot=true \* The following script automates the process of creating the depot: #!/sbin/sh # cd to the directory where the patches are (PHxx_xxxx) and start # this script. it will extract the patches one by one and create # a patch-depot in $PDEPOT. PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin PDEPOT=/tmp/my_patch_depot for PFILE in PH*[0-9]; do sh $PFILE rm $PFILE done # It's a good habit first reading the PHxx_xxxx.text files before deleting # them. # rm *.text for PFILE in PH*depot; do swcopy -s -x enforce_dependencies=false $PWD/$PFILE \* @ $PDEPOT done clear echo "*********************************************************************" echo " PLEASE NOTE: The Patch depot $PDEPOT has been created." echo "*********************************************************************" echo "Please start swinstall with $PDEPOT as the source, and don't" echo "forget to unregister the depot (e.g. swreg -u -l depot $PDEPOT)."
