[pca] Welcome to the "pca" mailing list

[Rajiv Gunja]

PCA is a perl script and uses wget to download patches. You can only
download patches from SUN/Oracle if you have a software contract with
SUN/Oracle with permission to download patches.

So, once you satisfy these basic requirements, you can put the pca script on
your server @ any path and run it to download patches.

pca -l -r missing // list all missing recommended patches upto the latest
Xref file.
pca -l -s missing // security patches
pca -l -rs missing // recommended and security patches
pca -d missing // download all missing patches.

You can use -d with any combination of -r or -s to download specific things.

Please read the documentation and look over the links section to see how
others are using PCA.
I too have couple of posts about PCA on my blog, but the main PCA website
has more links.

You can post your questions here one of us will reply to you.
