Hey,
This how I do it at work
Code:
uname -a

This will give you output like this:
Code:
SunOS  [servername] 5.# Generic_122300-59 sun4u SUNW,Sun-fire-V210

The 5.# gives you the OS version 5.9 for Solaris 9 for example.
Generic_122300-59 is the patch level. The higher the number the better.

This of course doesn't tell you whats installed, the command above will tell you that. This is useful when trying to see if the latest patches have been applied when doing many servers.

Below command can also be used for listing all installed paches.
Quote:
showrev -p
Below command will list current kernel patch level.
Quote:
uname -a
Below file will tell you current release and update level for Solaris.
Quote:
cat /etc/release
Please be informed that if you install patch bundle/cluster, /etc/release may or may not reflect correct Update level.
