Problem installing 10_Recommended.zip
Has anyone dowloaded the above Recommended & Security Patches from sunsolve? When trying to unzip the file I am getting the below error message:
# unzip 10_Recommended.zip
Archive: 10_Recommended.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: 10_Recommended.zip may be a plain executable, not an archive
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of 10_Recommended.zip or
10_Recommended.zip.zip, and cannot find 10_Recommended.zip.ZIP, period.
I have tried downloading this file multiple times and even renaming it to .gunzip, .tar, etc and nothing works. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thx!

I wasn't able to get any assistance so I went ahead and downloaded all 92 patches individually. It was some really fun stuff you guys have to try it sometime. ;-)
Now for a dumb question. I'm not a script expert and I obviously don't want to individually run the pkgadd for each patch. Is there a quick/recycled script I can use to install all of the patches for me? If I can some how run ls -la and pipe it to pkadd?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thx!

I think -M takes a list of patches.
So something like
patchadd -M `ls`
or
for i in * ; do patchadd $i ; done
That doesn't apply the patches in any particular order, so some patch dependencies may not be satisfied the first time through. The recommended patch cluster would have a 'patch.order' file to control the order that it would use.

Just downloaded the 10_Recommended.zip with the following date in the CLUSTER_README, and unzip extracted it without error:
DATE: May/31/07

In addition to the 2 CLI scripts listed above, some can use an old "install_cluster" script from an older patch cluster. All you need is the "install_cluster" script and create a file called "patch_order".
#> cd <patchdirectory>
#> ls >> patch_order
#> ./install_cluster
FYI: Be CAREFUL - Some patches have dependencies. I have seen some critical patches get missed/fail because the dependency gets installed after the failed patch. That is the reason SUN creates the "patch_order" file.
