Control Scripts
Products and filesets can contain control scripts that perform checks and
other tasks not performed by SD-UX commands. SD-UX supports the
following types of scripts:
Checkinstall Analyzes each target to determine if the installation
and configuration can take place. (Executed by
swinstall.)
Checkremove Analyzes each target to determine if removal and
unconfiguration can take place. (Executed by
swremove.)
Configure Configures installed filesets or products. (Executed by
swconfig and swinstall.)
Fix Corrects and reports on problems in installed software.
(Executed by swverify.)
Postinstall Performs additional install operations immediately
after a fileset or product has been installed. (Executed
by swinstall.)
Postremove Performs additional remove operations immediately
after a fileset or product has been removed. (Executed
by swremove.)
Preinstall Performs file operations (such as removing obsolete
files) immediately before installation of software files.
(Executed by swinstall.)
