Hi, I need a script which makes the package compação rpm's through two text files ... Since a file is the output of the command *rpm-qa > pkg.out * And the second file is a list of several packages rpm's, multiple versions and architectures. My idea is to compare a package *x* file pkg.out with several packages *y* of the file update.out and know whether a package and has a larger version of the package *x* installed and with that I return I have a package to be updated. Does anyone can help me do this comparison? OBS.: The servers do not have access to internet. Here's an example of the packages described in the files: [root at rpm tiago]# tail -n12 pkg.out glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.39 libuser-devel-0.52.5-1.el4.1 libmudflap-4.1.2-14.EL4 iiimf-libs-devel-12.1-13.EL.6 xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33 lam-libs-7.1.2-8 libdbi-0.6.5-10.RHEL4.1 unixODBC-kde-2.2.11-1.RHEL4.1 perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.el4 MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2-1.el4.1 nmap-3.70-1 sysstat-5.0.5-16.rhel4 [root at rpm tiago]# -- [root at rpm tiago]# cat update.out glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.41.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.39.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.36.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.25.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.19.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.13.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.9.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.i386.rpm libuser-devel-0.52.5-1.el4.3.i386.rpm libuser-devel-0.52.5-1.el4.1.i386.rpm libuser-devel-0.52.5-1.i386.rpm libmudflap-4.1.2-42.EL4.i386.rpm libmudflap-4.1.2-14.EL4.i386.rpm libmudflap-4.1.1-53.EL4.i386.rpm libmudflap-4.1.0-18.EL4.3.i386.rpm libmudflap-4.1.0-18.EL4.i386.rpm libmudflap-4.0.2-14.EL4.i386.rpm libmudflap-4.0.1-4.EL4.2.i386.rpm libmudflap-4.0.0-0.14.EL4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.52.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.31.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.19.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.18.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.7.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.5.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.36.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.25.1.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.25.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.16.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.13.6.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1-23.EL.i386.rpm lam-libs-7.1.2-15.el4:2.i386.rpm lam-libs-7.1.2-8:2.i386.rpm MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2-1.el4.1.i386.rpm MySQL-python-1.0.0-1.RHEL4.1.i386.rpm sysstat-5.0.5-19.el4.i386.rpm sysstat-5.0.5-16.rhel4.i386.rpm sysstat-5.0.5-15.0.1.el4.i386.rpm sysstat-5.0.5-14.rhel4.i386.rpm sysstat-5.0.5-11.rhel4.i386.rpm sysstat-5.0.5-7.rhel4.i386.rpm sysstat-5.0.5-1.i386.rpm nmap-3.70-1:2.i386.rpm [root at rpm tiago]# Att, -- Tiago Dias da Silva Administrador de Sistemas GNU/Linux HomePage: www.dias.eti.br Email: tiago at dias.eti.br "A mente que se abre a uma nova idéia jamais voltará ao seu tamanho original" (Albert Einstein) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
