The following example installs multiple patches specifying a file with the list of patches to install:



example# patchadd -M /var/sadm/spool patchlist

---------- Post updated at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous update was at 04:39 PM ----------

patchlist is the filename that contains the patch numbers (top to down)
