Installing Software
Verifying Your Installation (swverify)
Chapter 2 91
•If enforce_dependencies is false, a warning is issued with the
same information.
• If the dependency is a corequisite, it must be present before the
software will operate.
• If the dependency is a prerequisite, it must be present before the
software can be installed or configured.
5. Execute verify or fix scripts on installed software in prerequisite
order.
A verify script is used to ensure that the configuration of the
software is correct. Possible vendor-specific tasks for a verify script
include:
• Determine active or inactive state of the product.
• Check for corruption of product configuration files.
• Check for (in)correct configuration of the product into the OS
platform, services or configuration files.
• Check licensing factors.
Vendor-supplied scripts are executed and the return values generate
an error (if 1) or a warning (if 2).
Scripts are executed in prerequisite order.
6. Perform file-level checks for:
• Contents (mtime, size and checksum) for control_files
• Contents (mtime, size and checksum) for files
•Missing control_files, files and directories
• Permissions (owner, group, mode) for installed files
• Proper symlink values
