This section lists issues specific to the smpatch command:
Rebooting the system fails to install pending updates. (6260402)
Description: If you run the smpatch update command, updates that require special handling are installed at the next system restart. If you use the reboot command or use the Sun JavaTM Desktop System reboot mechanism as superuser (log out, and choose Restart from the Logout dialog box), the pending updates are not installed. These updates are still pending installation.
Workaround: Use the init 6 command or the shutdown -i 6 command to restart the system and install the pending updates.
The smpatch (IM) man page should be modified to remove the JAVA_HOME comment. (6426291)
Description: The man page instructs you to modify the JAVA_HOME field if you want to use the smpatch command with any version of Java. Solaris 10 is compatible with Java 1.5.x . The usr/java link should point to Java 1.5.x. so that the smpatch command works.
