[cobalt-security] here is my Auto-Security-Patch-Updater

["Gunther Stammwitz" <gstammw@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

these two scripts will mirror the cobalt-ftp-patches-directory and then
they'll install all patches sorted by the date. the oldest goes first.
It's not that efficient since all patches will be installed - or at lest it
will try to install them - even though most of them are already installed.
anyway... it is a dirty hack BUT it works.

1.
Make the download-directory:
mkdir /COBALT-UPDATES

then run this script:
#Auto-Download by GS
#gs@xxxxxxxxxx
#v0.1 alpha :-)
#dirty hack
#
# you should use mirror.. it works much much better.
# DOWNLOAD everything in /COBALT-UPDATES
cd /COBALT-UPDATES
wget ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/packages/raq3/eng/*
# done

#Auto-Updater by GS
#gs@xxxxxxxxxx
#v0.1 alpha :-)
#dirty hack
#
# list all files in /COBALT-UPDATES sorted by the date of the file.
# first goes the oldest...
cd /COBALT-UPDATES
for FILE in $(cd /COBALT-UPDATES; ls -t -r -1);
do
echo "EXECUTING: cobalt_upgrade $PKGFILE..."
/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade $FILE
done



Thanks and bye,
Gunther
