System Administration Commands pprosvc(1M)
NAME
pprosvc - automation service program for Patch Manager
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/pprosvc [-c config-name] [-d [-p patch-id
[,patch-id...]]] [-h] [-i [-n] [-p patch-id [,patch-id...]]]
[-l]
DESCRIPTION
Note - This command is deprecated. Use the smpatch analyze,
smpatch download, and smpatch update commands
instead. See the smpatch(1M) man page.
Use the pprosvc command to analyze a system to determine the
list of appropriate patches, download the patches, and apply
them. This command invokes patch operations in response to a
user request or at a scheduled time. You must run this com-
mand as superuser.
The pprosvc command enables you to do the following:
o Analyze the host system for appropriate patches based
on an established configuration
o Generate the list of appropriate patches
o Download the patches to your host system from the Sun
patch server
o Apply the patches based on a patch policy
Use the pprosvc -i command to analyze a system, download the
appropriate patches, and apply them. If analysis determines
that patches are needed, the pprosvc command downloads them
and applies them.
Specify other options to automate a subset of the patch
management tasks. If you specify the -d option, your system
is analyzed and the appropriate patches are downloaded to
your system. If you specify the -l option, your system is
analyzed and the appropriate patches are listed.
The list of patches that is generated by the analysis is
based on all of the available patches from the Sun patch
server. No explicit information about your host system or
its network configuration is transmitted to Sun. Only a
request for the Sun patch set is transmitted. The patch set
is scanned for patches that are appropriate for this host
system, the results are displayed, and those patches are
optionally downloaded.

System Administration Commands pprosvc(1M)
The -d, -i, and -l options are mutually exclusive.
Use the -p option to specify the patches on which to
operate. You can use the -p option with the -d and -i
options.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c config-name Uses an alternate configuration for
the current patch operation. Use the
pprosetup command to create new con-
figurations.
A configuration named recommended is
included. For more information, see
``Specifying Alternate Configura-
tions'' in the pprosetup(1M) man
page.
Note - This feature is not sup-
ported by the smpatch com-
mand.
-d Downloads the patches that are
appropriate for this host system.
The patches are downloaded to the
designated download directory.
This option generates a list of
appropriate patches, as does the -l
option. However, instead of just
displaying the list of patches, the
-d option displays and downloads the
patches from the Sun patch server.
The patches are downloaded using a
secure connection, and all patches
are authenticated using digital sig-
nature technology. Only patches that
are signed with a Sun digital signa-
ture are stored in your download
directory.
Note - Specifying this option is
equivalent to running the
smpatch download command.

System Administration Commands pprosvc(1M)
-h Displays information about the
command-line options.
-i Applies the patches based on the
patch policy. This option analyzes
your system to generate a list of
appropriate patches. If analysis
determines that patches are needed,
the patches are downloaded and
applied. If no patches are permitted
to be applied in automatic mode (by
running pprosetup -p none), this
option is identical to specifying
the -d option.
If only standard patches are permit-
ted to be applied in automatic mode
(by running pprosetup -p standard),
all standard patches are applied.
Note - Specifying this option is
equivalent to running the
smpatch update command.
-l Generates a list of the patches that
are appropriate for this host sys-
tem.
Note - Specifying this option is
equivalent to running the
smpatch analyze command.
-n Runs pprosvc in automatic mode. The
command that the cron job specifies
is pprosvc -i -n. To schedule patch
operations to run in automatic mode,
see the pprosetup(1M) man page.
In automatic mode, the patch
administrator (specified by the -a
option) receives email notifications
that describe the patches you down-
loaded and applied, and any error
events that occurred.

System Administration Commands pprosvc(1M)
Do not use this option on the com-
mand line.
Standard patches do not require any
special actions on the part of the
user. Such patches can be applied by
using the patchadd command (see the
patchadd(1M) man page) and do not
need the host system to reboot for
the patch to take effect.
All nonstandard patches are moved to
the sequester directory if you use
the -n option to run in automatic
mode. If you run in manual mode,
however, nonstandard patches that
have properties that match the pol-
icy specified by pprosetup -i are
applied. The rest of the nonstandard
patches are moved to the sequester
directory. You can apply patches
from this directory at a later time.
Patches, whether standard or non-
standard, that depend on sequestered
patches are not applied under any
circumstances. Such patches are
placed in the sequester directory.
For any patch that is placed in the
sequester directory, refer to the
patch's README file to determine how
to apply it to your system.
Note - This feature is not sup-
ported by the smpatch com-
mand.
-p [patch-id[,patch-id,.Designates the specific patches on
which to operate. Use this option
with the -d option or the -i option.
The list of patch IDs must be
separated by commas.
The specified patches are adjusted
to use the current versions based on
the patch baseline. Patches that are
required by the specified patches
are added to the complete list of
patches to be applied.

System Administration Commands pprosvc(1M)
Note - Specifying this option is
equivalent to specifying the
-i option to the smpatch
analyze, smpatch download,
and smpatch update commands.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Applying Specific Patches in Manual Mode
# pprosvc -i -p 102893-01,106895-09,106527-05
Applies patches 102893-01, 106895-09, and 106527-05 to the
local system in manual mode.
Example 2: Analyzing a System and Downloading Appropriate
Patches
# pprosvc -i
Performs an analysis of the current system and downloads the
appropriate patches based on all the patches from the Sun
patch server. The resulting list of patches can be very
long.
Example 3: Applying Patches From the Recommended Configura-
tion
# pprosvc -c recommended -i
Uses the recommended configuration to perform an analysis of
the current system and downloads the appropriate patches.
Standard patches and those needed from the recommended con-
figuration are applied to the system based on the esta-
blished patch policy. For information about setting the
patch policy for manual mode, see the description of the -i
option on the pprosetup(1M) man page.
