Command Options

Appendix A436
— SD-UX ignores this option (treats it as true) when it installs
software that causes a system reboot.
— Alternate root directories are not configured.
Applies only to swinstall
• distribution_source_directory=/var/spool/sw
Defines the default source depot when the value for the
source_type
option is directory. You can also use the host:path syntax. The -s
option overrides this default.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall, and swpackage.
• distribution_target_directory=/var/spool/sw
Defines the default distribution directory of the target depot. The
target_selection operand overrides this default.
Applies to swacl, swcopy, swlist, swmodify, swpackage, swreg,
swremove and swverify.
• distribution_target_serial=/dev/rmt/0m
Defines the default location of the target tape device file. The
target_selection operand overrides this default.
Applies only to swpackage.
• enforce_dependencies=true
When set to true, SD-UX enforces dependencies. swinstall, swcopy,
and swconfig do not proceed unless necessary dependencies can be
selected, or already exist in the proper state (installed, configured, or
available). This prevents SD-UX from installing or copying unusable
software. This option also prevents swremove from removing
dependent software.
When set to false, SD-UX checks dependencies but does not enforce
them. Corequisite dependencies, if not enforced, may keep the
software from working properly. Prerequisite dependencies, if not
enforced, may cause the installation or configuration to fail.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove and swverify.
