Just by-the-by.....regarding instfix and it's usefulness.

Post upgrade/installation I usually do a:

Code:
instfix -ic | grep ML | grep 5300-12 | grep ":-:"

Looking for the ":-:" shows you the filesets that are "known" to the system, but not at the known (higher) ML/TL.
This is useful when you have installed an oslevel, but
Code:
 oslevel -s

is not showing you what you believe to be an accurate post-installation oslevel.
This is normally down to a handful of filesets not in your install or lpp_source.

An example, host installed with TL12 Concluding Service Pack (5) for 5.3, updated from TL8, but reporting TL11!

Code:
root:host1:/$ instfix -ic | grep ML | grep 5300-12 | grep ":-:"
5300-12_AIX_ML:xlsmp.aix53.rte:1.8.0.3:1.8.0.1:-:AIX 5300-12 Update
root:host1:/$ oslevel -s
5300-11-08-1140

So I need to grab that fileset and update it.

Off topic a bit but a useful thing to be aware of the ":-:" meaning in instfix output Smilie

List of patches and date installed

Does anyone know of a command that would show the list of patches installed and the date it was installed? My understanding is that "showrev -p" would show patches but not the date they were installed. I'm looking for this on a Solaris 10 server. Thanks. (2 Replies)

NAME
diff2patches - Extract non-debian/ patches from .diff.gz files SYNTAX
diff2patches filename diff2patches --help|--version DESCRIPTION
Extracts patches from .diff.gz which apply to files outside the "debian/" directory scope. A patch is created for each modified file. Each patch is named according to the path of the modified file, with "/" replaced by "___", and an extension of ".patch". OPTIONS
filename Extract patches from filename which apply outside the "debian/" directory. --help Output help information and exit. --version Output version information and exit. FILES
debian/control Existence of this file is tested before any patch is extracted. debian/ debian/patches/ Patches are extracted to one of these directories. "debian/patches/" is preferred, if it exists. If DEB_PATCHES is present in the environment, it will override this behavior (see "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" section below). ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DEB_PATCHES When defined and points to an existing directory, patches are extracted in that directory and not under "debian/" nor "debian/patches/". SEE ALSO
