VmWare Patches Screen Scrapper in Perl

January 4th, 2008

I have written a perl script that screen scrapes the vmware patches pages and generates an output that can be used in esx upgrade scripts

To view the sample, visit following pages (re-generated every 4 hours):

VmWare ESX 3.0.0 - http://www.serverchief.com/esx-updater/feed/vi3_patches_300.txt
VmWare ESX 3.0.1 - http://www.serverchief.com/esx-updater/feed/vi3_patches_301.txt
VmWare ESX 3.0.2 - http://www.serverchief.com/esx-updater/feed/vi3_patches_302.txt
The perl source code is available Script is realeased under GPL License Agreement, please give author a credit, if used in your environment. :)

Enjoy …
