There was a post on here about setting this up which I dont see it anymore, it may have been an external link to another website.
Anyone know?

That rocks wish I had found it sooner. I just spent a week patching my servers....does it do the auto re-boots that some of the patches kick off, or does it wait until they are all installed?
Haven't used it myself yet as have a working alternative, but looking at the source, in particular this bit:
$cmdUpdate = "esxupdate -n -r http://:8082/ESX-$item update";
system($cmdUpdate);
has the -n parameter so it waits until all are installed.
