Before you start, download https://github.com/MarisElsins/getMOSPatch/raw/master/getMOSPatch.jar and then execute it like this:

java -jar getMOSPatch.jar patch=< patch_number_1>[,< patch_number_n>]* \
                          [reset=yes] \
                          [platform=<plcode_1>[,<plcode_n>]*] \
                          [regexp=<regular_expression>] \
                          [download=all] \
                          [stagedir=<target directory path>] \
                          [MOSUser=<username>] \
                          [MOSPass=<password>] \
                          [silent=yes] \
                          [debug=yes]

Note 1: for JRE 1.6: use java -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1 -jar getMOSPatch.jar ...
Note 2: If you're behind a proxy, use the appropriate java flags -DsocksProxyHost=... and -DsocksProxyPort=... (for socks proxy) or -Dhttps.proxyHost=... and -Dhttps.proxyPort=... (For HTTPS proxy), for example java -DsocksProxyHost=host_proxy -DsocksProxyPort=8888 -jar getMOSPatch.jar patch=6880880
Note 3: Usage notes are provided for a packaged jre
Note 4: Order of parameters is irrelevant

Explanation of parameters:

patch - list of patches to download, i.e. 6880880,16867777,12978712
reset=yes - This will initiate the resetting of the chosen Platforms/Languages, otherwise the list previous time used is retrieved from .getMOSPatch.cfg
platform - List of comma separated platform language codes The code list is presented the first time you execute the script. I.e. "226P,3L" for Linux x86-64 and Canadian French (FRC)
regexp - regular expression to filter the filenames. Typically this can be used if the same patch is available for multiple releases of software and you know which one you need. I.e. .121. would be useful for Oracle Database 12c (R1)
download=all - specify to download all found files without need to specify inputs. Very useful when "regexp" parameter is used
stagedir - Optionally specify the target directory path for the downloaded patches.
MOSUser - Optionally specify the MOS username, if not provided, it will be prompted.
MOSPass - Optionally specify the MOS pasword, if not provided, it will be prompted.
silent=yes - The dynamic progress indicator is not displayed.
debug=yes - Outputs the timings of different steps

Example: To download OPatch for 11gR2 database on Linux x86-64

$ java -jar getMOSPatch.jar MOSUser=elsins@nomail.com patch=6880880 regexp=.*1120.* download=all
Enter your MOS password:

We're going to download patches for the following Platforms/Languages:
 226P - Linux x86-64

Processing patch 6880880 for Linux x86-64 and applying regexp .*1120.* to the filenames:
 1 - p6880880_112000_Linux-x86-64.zip
 Enter Comma separated files to download: all
 All files will be downloadad becuase download=all was specified.

Downloading all selected files
 Downloading p6880880_112000_Linux-x86-64.zip: 50MB at average speed of 3116KB/s - DONE!
