More "-v" arguments will increase the verbosity. I usually don't worry too much about the numbers and percentages, and just look to see if it says "up to date" or not. One thing I've discovered is that I get better results by running online_update manually and always specify "security recommended patchlevel document optional" parameters.

On our Linux server we got this result: zlp1:~ # SPident -v Summary # of packages (650) Product/ServicePack conflict match update (shipped) SLES-9-s390 0 0% 421 64.8% 1 (1416 29.7%) SLES-9-s390-SP1 3 0.6% 228 35.1% 0 (468 48.7%) Unknown 1 0.2% I am confused by the numbers and the man page was too concise to be of help!
