Dear Sun Managers,
Hi! I have 30 Ultra 5 sparc machines in my lab. They have Solaris 8
running on them. Every fortnight I download the latest Solaris 8 patches
on my NFS server and go to every machine and install the patches. Does
anyone think of a better way to install the patches, like automating the
installation using a script or something. I will download the latest
patches on my NFS server but I want a script to take care from there. I am
new to scripting. But I want to get used to automating things. I want the
script to 'cd' to the patch directory. Then run the command
'./install_cluster -nosave' and finally should 'reboot' so that the
patches will come into effect. I want a cron job to run this script
twice every month 16th and 2nd after I install the latest patches. Any
suggestions? Do you think it can be done that way?
thanks in advance,
Aravind Vinnakota
