Hi,

Thanks for the snippet. I did the rpm -qa --last. But I only wanted the latest rpm's. that would show me all rpm's - 2013 - 2012 as well.

appreciate the help..

I think I may be able to work off of the sort command though.

RPMDB(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  RPMDB(8)

NAME

       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS

       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

DESCRIPTION

       The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is

       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY]

       Use  --initdb  to create a new database if one doesn't already exist (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild the
       database indices from the installed package headers.

SEE ALSO

       popt(3),
       rpm(8),
       rpmkeys(8),
       rpmsign(8),
       rpm2cpio(8),
       rpmbuild(8),
       rpmspec(8),

       rpm --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that	what's	described  in  the  manual
       matches what's available.
