You might want to compare the times it took for other patches so that you know if it will take longer that 13*11*x minutes whet x is some random number which it seems to take for patching zones. If the server is ok to run for more time let it run. It took my server 7 hours to patch 200 patches on a server with 3 zones. Sine you have 13 zones it might take longer.

I guess you could use "truss -f -p <PID>" on the PID of the "patchadd" process to see what's going on.

If you have to interrupt the patch installation process, the only "good" thing is that PCA is using plain patchadd for the patch install, so there's no extra uncertainty added by the fact that you are using PCA. On the other hand I don't have much practical experience about how "patchadd" reacts to Ctrl-C. I think that it should be pretty save to remove the partly installed patch with "patchrm" afterwards without causing any ill effects.

Martin.
