• admin_directory=/var/adm/sw (for normal mode)
admin_directory=/var/home/LOGNAME/sw
(for nonprivileged mode)
The location for logfiles and the default parent directory for the
installed software catalog. The default value is /var/adm/sw for
normal operations.
For nonprivileged mode (that is, when the run_as_superuser
default option is set to true):
—The default value is /var/home/LOGNAME/sw
— The path element LOGNAME is replaced with the name of the
invoking user, which SD-UX reads from the system password file.
— If you set the value of this option to HOME/path, SD-UX replaces
HOME with the invoking user’s home directory (from the system
password file) and resolves path relative to that directory. For
example, HOME/my_admin resolves to the my_admin directory in
your home directory.
— If you set the value of the installed_software_catalog option
to a relative path, that path is resolved relative to the value of
this option.
Nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that
are specially designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to
manage the HP-UX operating system or patches to it. For a full
explanation of nonprivileged SD-UX, see Chapter 12, “Nonprivileged
SD,” on page 413.
See also the installed_software_catalog and run_as_superuser
options.
