Hi!

Does anyone here have experience with installing OSF 4.0x system
and security patches via remote access?

I would like to select patches for installation based upon
the documentation in docs/ of the patch_kit and the software
version information provided with patch_kit, bypass dupatch
and run individual OSF*blah*.scp scripts to install patches.

I'd like this to be a script in rcx.d which would allow me
to boot the machine, run the script, install patches, rebuild kernel,
remove script and boot to multi-user.

Any suggestions and comments (other than questioning my sanity)
are greatly appreciated ;)

TIA,

Nancy Davis
