• On some systems, the @ character is used as the kill function. Type

stty on your system to see if the @ character is mapped to any other

function on your system. If it is, remove the mapping, change the

mapping, or use \@.

Target Files

You can also use an input file to specify targets. To keep the command

line shorter, target selection input files let you specify long lists of

targets. With a target selection file, you only have to specify the single

file name.

The -t command-line option lets you specify a target file. For example:

swinstall -f mysoft -s /mnt/cd -t mytargs

In this example, the file mytargs (which resides in the default directory)

contains a list of target selections for the depot /mnt/cd.

In the target file, blank lines and comments (lines beginning with #) are

ignored. Each target selection must be specified on a separate line and

must consist of a host name or network address, optionally followed by a

colon and a full path:

host

[:/
