Working fine for me ... I always start with verifying what opatch level is required.

The real warning of course is it must be tested each time in a throwaway environment that matches your important systems.  Depending on how many of them there are ... easier said than done perhaps.

I haven't used the opatch auto feature yet.  To be honest a bit scared to.  We have talked about it internally here, but most of us prefer manual due to the steps involved sometime.

Guess, my real question is: How does everyone feel about opatch auto?  Better or worse than manual apply?

Thanks
