Thanks guys,

I have corrected the syntax as shown below. There is a space AND not tab space between if and square bracket and space btw ==

Code:
if [ "$PATCHACTION" == "restartXAPI" ]
then
        /opt/xensource/bin/xe-toolstack-restart
        sleep 60
elif [ "$PATCHACTION" == "restartHost" ]; then
        reboot;
        sleep 60
fi

The error message below popped up instead.

Code:
[root@xen01 ~]# ./postscript.sh
Secondboot
sleeping in 60 secs
Uploading Update ls /tmp/updates...
Operation failed. Error: file '/tmp/Updates/ls' does not exist

Broadcast message from root (pts/1) (Tue Apr  1 17:29:28 2014):

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
[root@xen01 ~]#

The server rebooted without the patches being applied.

you have to change the symbol in the "for" loop from ' to `

Code:
for updatefile in `ls /tmp/updates`;do

Hi Npandith,

Thanks for the response, I don't quite understand you meant:

The syntax below is what I currently have: are you saying I should change the for to "for" ?
Code:
for updatefile in 'ls /tmp/updates';do

Instead of single quote ' use ` (which is next to "1" in the keyboard or along with "~")

Before-
Code:
for updatefile in 'ls /tmp/updates';do


After changing-

Code:
for updatefile in `ls /tmp/updates`;do

Thanks Npandith,

` and ' are indeed different...

I'll get back to you shortly..

Hi Npandith and Sea VBS,

Thanks all for your candid help...

whilst progress made is sloow, it rather further sheds some light on what's happening.
Error 1:
When I manually patch-apply and updating the file-name= capital letter e.g. XS62E001.xsupdates, the patch install successfully. The patches are all in capital letters like such XS62E001 , 002 etc but instead reports file does not exist as shown below when ran via script. I thereafter changed on all patch to lower case letters, same result.
Error 2:
pool_patch being reported is another confusing bit, the syntax say patch-apply for a single server and pool-patch-apply for a group of servers in a pool. I'm still researching the proper syntax for a server vs pools of server.

Any tips regarding Error 1 would be nice to resolve for now guys.?

Thanks for your help.
