Hi Paul,
  I am uncertain how an added Option flag is forcing anything on anyone. 
People do not have to use it, being optional.

I did not see any logging for positive states in syslog.  Only failures. 
So that might be a bug.

People will use wrappers if you want them to or not.  It may be me, but it 
seems so many people are using wrappers to do simple logging.
Why not incorporate it?

Pca is not a small tool.  Nor would it be overkill to add a logging 
mechanism.  In my opinion.

Thanks for your script and thank you for listening to my ideas.

Ben

I guess it's hard to find a solution that fits everyone. That's why I 
added a minimal logging ("date/time: patch X installed") to syslog, and 
leave the rest to wrappers, which can use pca's full output to choose 
what they want to log.

It's not that I didn't think about a fully configurable logging system 
for pca (different log levels and destinations, like syslog), but it 
looks like overkill for such a small tool.

BTW, you mentioned /var/sadm/spool/sunucLog - what does it look like?

Martin.
