esx-autpatch.pl updated, minor fixes and new features
esx-autopatch.pl has been updated to v1.1 which you can find in the usual place. An issue was found with some faster servers where there was a possibility that patches may try and install out of order. Local patch repositories are now supported and a --dry-run option has been added which will display patches that need to be installed without any modifications to the system. Enjoy.-Dominic
esx-autopach.pl updated.. more features!
By popular request I have made some changes to esx-autopatch.pl. Notable changes are:1. Support to install via http
2. Support to temporarily allow outgoing connections through the firewall while updates are downloaded
3. Support to automatically reboot the server after updates are applied.
The script also gained some more robust error reporting, and if you run the script with no options it will print a help menu.
