Is there a command or program which allows me to update my Solaris OS?

I have servers running solaris 8,9 and 10.

Not sure what you mean with update. If you want to upgrade a machine
from e.g. Solaris 9 to Solaris 10, take a look at the Release and
Installation Collection on docs.sun.com. It will explain the various
options (re-install, upgrade, live upgrade).

If you're talking about installing patches to update a certain
release of Solaris to its most current state, read about dealing
with Solaris Patches in the Basic Administration guide on docs.sun.com
and check out http://sunsolve.sun.com/

Especially as you have servers with different releases of Solaris,
I recommend taking a look at http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/
Unlike Sun's own patch tools, it works on any release of Solaris,
is much simpler to use for novice users, and more versatile for
advanced admins.
