I have a SuSE workstation and wanted to check if some specific patches were installed. Is there a command that I could use to verify if these patches are installed?
I know aix uses instfix and solaris uses showrev, but I dont know what SuSE uses.

SuSE is an RPM (RedHat Package Manager) based distribution.

When 'patches' are installed the entire package is actually replaced, so you just need to check the versions of the packages that are currently installed using rpm -qa or rpm -q packagename.

Annihilannic.
