Patches Q: Should Bastille set up a cron job to run Security Patch Check? [Y]
Bastille can configure Security Patch Check to run on a daily
basis using the cron scheduling daemon. Keeping a system secure requires constant
vigilance. Staying up-to-date on security patches issued by Hewlett Packard is
critical, and Security Patch Check is the easiest way to make sure
this system's security patches are up-to-date. In addition, a subscription to
HP's security bulletin mailing list is valuable to find the latest security fixes
from HP, including both patched and manual fixes. Note: this question is
asked whether or not you have Security Patch Check installed so
that Bastille can pre-configure cron to run the tool after you have
installed it.
You may also consider getting notified of all HP security bulletins by
going to http://www.itrc.hp.com and registering for them by clicking on
"maintenance and support," then selecting "support information
