WARNING: When a patch is committed, the files saved to /var/adm/sw/save
during the installation of the patch are removed. If
these saved files are not present, then the patch cannot
be removed from the system via swremove(1M).
If these files in /var/adm/sw/save must be removed, HP
recommends that the /var/adm/sw/save directory first be
backed up. If it should become necessary to remove the
patch in the future, the files must be recovered from the
backup prior to removing the patch.
If you have not already created a backup of /var/adm/sw/save,
you may wish to do so before proceeding with the patch
commit operation.
Would you still like to commit these patches? y

NOTE: cleanup is just a frontend to swmodify:
# cleanup -c 1
would do the same as
# swmodify -x patch_commit=true \*\.*
