One-step patch installation

To install patches in one step, use the patch install command. After you execute the command, the system displays the message "Do you want to continue running patches after reboot? [Y/N]:"

Entering y or Y: All of the specified patches are installed, and turn to the RUNNING state from IDLE. This equals execution of the commands patch location, patch load, patch active, and patch run. The patches remain RUNNING after system reboot.

Entering n or N: All of the specified patches are installed and turn to the ACTIVE state from IDLE. This equals execution of the commands patch location, patch load and patch active. The patches turn to the DEACTIVE state after system reboot.
