The following script will do the whole job for you :

(Just watch out for where this email splits the lines.
2nd line starts COBALTPAGE
3rd line starts URLS
4th line starts cd /home/packages)

Bassi



#!/bin/sh
COBALTPAGE="http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=cobalt/raq4.eng&n
av=patchpage"
URLS=`wget -O - $COBALTPAGE | tac | grep "http://ftp.cobalt.sun.com"; | sed
's/.*\<a href="//' | sed 's/".*//'`
cd /home/packages
  for URL in $URLS; do
  wget $URL
done
  for URL in $URLS; do
  FILE=`echo $URL | sed 's/.*\///'`
  /usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade $FILE
done
