Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Generates Lists of Installed and Missing Patches for Solaris
The testimonials marshaled in Dr. Hung-Sheng Tsao’s blog on Patch Check Advanced (PCA) attest to the excellence and value of this command line utility for patching and support his own assertion that PCA is “…the only tool you ever need for patch management, be it on a single machine or a complete network. Just one perl script, it doesn’t need compilation nor installation, and it doesn’t need root permissions to run. It works on all versions of Solaris, both SPARC and x86.” The blog identifies the source of PCA as Martin Paul from Vienna’s Institute of Scientific Computing.
