README for executing the Solaris patch test scripts.

Gemini tests PIT and OT on Solaris 8, Solaris 9, and Solaris 10.  The
Solaris operating system must be properly patched to run Java 1.5 programs.  
OT is now known not to work on Solaris 2.6 and is no longer an option.

We recommend that only individuals who are comfortable with
system administrator tasks patch their OS.  Otherwise, seek
the help of your professional System Administrator.

   For correct operation in all situations, you must run OT on a
   properly patched Solaris OS Gemini has collected all patches Sun
   recommends for using Java on these Solaris releases.  The easiest
   way to gather Solaris patches is to follow one of the URLs below.
   See the following URLs for more information on Solaris patches.

Have you installed patches yet?  Do so!

For correct operation in all situations, you must run OT on a properly patched 
Solaris OS.  

The easiest way to gather Solaris patches is to follow the URL below.

The scripts TestForPatches7, TestForPatches8, TestForPatches9, TestForPatches10 will test 
for required/recommended Solaris patches on Solaris versions 7, 8, 9, and 10.  

These tests scripts test for the presence of the patches in the Sun suggested J2SE 5 cluster.

To run a test script, type the name of the script for your OS.
The OS name can be found by typing: uname -r

The following is an example of running TestForPatches8 on Solaris 8.

carrot46$ ./TestForPatches8
Building list of installed patches, this may take a while...
ERR: Patch 108652-15 installed; minimum 108652-19
NOTE: Patch 108940-09 installed
NOTE: Patch 108921-06 installed

So in this case, 2 of the required patches are installed, but the
version of the patch 108652-15 is less than the minimum required
according to the Sun patch page.  This is the patch set that
comes with the 10/2000 Solaris 8 distribution.
