apply xen server patches in bulk

download a bunch of the buggers


for file in XS*.zip;do foo=`basename -s .zip $file`; unzip $file; bar=`xe patch-upload file-name=${foo}.xsupdate`;xe patch-apply uuid=$bar host-uuid=YOUR_HOST_UUID;done

you’ll probably want to add an rm of the zip file and an rm of the xsupdate file (exercise for the reader)

This won’t work for XS70E002 and XS70E003 until you apply XS70E004 (read the release notes).
