Howdy,

Here is a list of all the switches for patches: (I got this info by using the 
/? switch running a w2k3 server patch from a command line).

-u  - Unattended mode
-f   -Force other programs to close when the computer shuts down
-n  - do not back up files for uninstall
-o  - overwrite OEM files without prompting
-z  - do not restart when the install is complete
-q  - quiet mode (no user interaction)
-l   - list installed hotfixes.

To do what you want write a batch file to call all the patches you wish to 
install using the -z and -q switches for all of the packages except for the 
last package, which you would just need to use the -q switch,  then the system 
will re-boot after installing the last patch.

HTH,

Mike

Thanks ken however, using this switch reboots the system after a patch 
install.  Is there a switch which simply cancels the reboot

I basically have about 15 patches to roll out and need to do this via script 
without reboot after each  patch
