Re: [hobbit] monitoring patch status?


Ok, my fault ... it's only a update not a patch-mechanism ..

 For my understanding, there is no patch concept for Linux OS.
 Solaris and HP-UX are two Unix OS that I need to deal with have OS
 patches.
 Windows has patch also but is there an open source pca script  doing patch
 report ?


 tj
The enterprise or server versions of major distros (like SLES) have regular patch distribution and notification processes. If specific people in an installation sign up for notification of patches, they are sent emails that patches are available. Patch servers can also be set up that can download these patches so that the internal servers can have the patches available without having to all fetch them from the distributor (Novell in this case). I'm going to guess that RedHat Satellite does something similar.
