Yes,
I am using the same script published to this thread above, and patchlist also from the links above for ESX v3.0.1. Initially I had problems as characters <> && etc... where being transformed, but got around this. I know the script runs as it creates the updates folder in /var/ it just gets stuck on;
ftp: it logs into ftp host and traverses to the 3.0.1 directory
$ftp->get('patchlist.txt');
http: I believe it is connecting to the http service but can't guarantee it
getstore ("$url/$version/patchlist.txt",'./patchlist.txt');
______________________________________________________
\# Download The patchlist.txt for the matching version number
if ( $ftp ){
$ftp = Net::FTP->new($ftp_host);
print "Logging in to host $ftp_host\n";
$ftp->login($ftp_user,$ftp_password) or die "Could not establish FTP connection with $ftp_host\n";
print "Changing directory to $version\n";
$ftp->cwd($version);
$ftp->binary;
$ftp->get('patchlist.txt');
}
if ( $http ){
if ( !defined $url ){
die "No url specified either on the command line or in the script... exiting\n";
}
print "Downloading updates from $url/$version\n";
getstore ("$url/$version/patchlist.txt",'./patchlist.txt');
}
