Operating Systems AIX Automated Patch Installations in AIX

we are using TPM in our company for all installations and patching ... but not automated - you task it to upgrade certain systems with certain patches - and than it upgrades your systems. TPM keeps track about your patchlevels and has the capability to scan your boxes against certain thresholds. Basically it is nothing more than an enhanced frontend for the nimserver(s), that allows you to install and track additional packages, logs errors and progress and mails you the outcome.
