Collecting System Information

Along with HP-UX version information and information about which window manager is being used, it is also useful to know which patches are installed on the system. This information can be gathered either with swlist or HPjconfig.

The following example shows the use of the swlist command to retrieve this list:

$ /usr/sbin/swlist     
    # Initializing...   
    # Contacting target "mutant"... 
    #   
    # Target:  mutant:/   
    #   
    # 
    # Bundle(s):  
    #
