Is there is a capability in pca or elsewhere to investigate whether or not a particular patch requires a reboot besides pca -I?

That is one way to do it, but it seems that downloading each patch .zip file only to scan the README file is cumbersome.

I agree - the problem is that the necessary bit of information (whether a patch needs a reboot) is not included in the patchdiag.xref file. That's probably the first thing I'd wish to be changed by Sun ...

Therefore you can either use go on downloading all patches and use "pca -I", or use a script like the one from Rajiv, which will only download the READMEs and get the necessary information from there.
