Solaris Package Management
Here are the most common commands you would use to manage your application packages in Solaris (the UNIX SVR 4 equivalent of rpms in the Red Hat world):
pkgadd - installs a package
pkgrm - removes a package
pkgchk - checks (verifies) a package (pkgchk -v or -l are more useful)
pkginfo - lists package information (pkginfo -l is more useful)
Less used commands:
pkgask - saves an answer file for multiple installs (using pkgadd -r)
pkgparam - displays package parameter values
pkgtrans - translates a package to different formats
And in a related area, patch management, use the following commands:
patchadd - install a patch
patchrm - back out (remove) a patch
