Hi Sethu,

you only see the status of the Patch "process", if you scheduled the patches from the Web interface onto the clients.

You can then see the status within Web interface on the client at "system" -> events -> pending or history.

If you just run "yum upgrade" on the client, you won't see anything within Web interface. You'll only notice, that the package list has updated and there should not be any package to be upgraded anymore.

Hope that helped.
