I've posted a new version of esx-autopatch.pl ( v1.2 )
\# Version 1.2
\# - Automatically determine esx version number
\# - Handle patches like ESX-6431040 more gracefully, won't show up as uninstalled ( requires newer patchlist.txt )
\# - Better error handling for md5sum
\# - Color Output and formatting changes
\# - Will only install patches when server is in maintenance mode unless --no-mm specified
\# - Download patch, verify, install, delete source package install process to reduce space requirements
\# - Option to install local updates and not delete source
\# - Option to have local installs not unpack each update
