As far as I know there's no command or log file which will easily show
which maintenance release(s) has/have been applied.

Since you're wanting to know whether a particular one has been applied
what you can do in this case is check your installed versions of the
packages shipped in that maintenance release. See
http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=73ZrJ9ZUGjQ~ and
http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=DHDMLrK5Wgc~ for the January
2013 Scheduled Maintenance release for OES11 SP1 inc. eDirectory.

Use "rpm -q <package>" to check which version of the package is
installed - this will also report if a package is not installed. For
example, to check which version of the ifolder3-enterprise package you
have installed use "rpm -q ifolder3-enterprise".

Given the number of novell-* packages updated by the January 2013
Scheduled Maintenance update I would use "rpm -qa novell-*|sort" to list
all novell-* package versions (note the "-qa" is needed because of the
"novell-*" wildcard).

HTH.
