AIX

Hi dear All.
I need to create script, that will check if some specific AIX patch is superseded by another patch, already installed on system
Let us say I have AIX 5.3 machine, and I have to check for patch "X".
Of cause - it is not a problem to check if patch "X" is already installed on given machine. But - how can I check if those machine have some patch already installed on it - that supersede "X"
Since - this is script - it can not go to site of AIX and check at description of patch... Check have to be done programmatically...

hi,

using instfix command u can check the list of filesets that are higher then ur TL level...instfix -icqk <AIX TL level> |grep :+:

+ will show filesets higher then ur matching TL level
- will show filesets lower then ur matching TL level.
