DIAGNOSTICS
The
swask command writes to stdout, stderr, and to the
swask logfile.
Standard Output
An interactive
swask session does not write to stdout. A non-interactive
swask session writes messages
for significant events. These include:
• a begin and end session message,
• selection, analysis, and execution task messages for each target_selection.
Standard Error
An interactive
swask session does not write to stderr. A non-interactive
swask session writes messages
for all WARNING and ERROR conditions to stderr.
Logging
Both interactive and non-interactive
swask sessions log summary events at the host where the command
was invoked. They log detailed events to the
swask.log logfile associated with each target_selection.
Command Log
The
swask command logs all stdout and stderr messages to the the logfile
/var/adm/sw/swask.log
. Similar messages are logged by an interactive swask session. You
can specify a different logfile by modifying the
logfile option.
swagentd Disabled
If the
swagentd daemon has been disabled on the host, it can be enabled by the host’s system adminis-
trator by setting the SW_ENABLE_SWAGENTD
entry in /etc/rc.config.d/swconfig to 1
and exe-
cuting
/usr/sbin/swagentd -r
.
EXAMPLES
Run all request scripts from the default depot (
/var/spool/sw
) depot and write the response file
(named
response) back to the same depot:
swask -s /var/spool/sw \*
Run the request script for Product1 from depot /tmp/sample.depot.1
on remote host swposix,
create the catalog
/tmp/test1.depot
on the local controller machine, and place the response file
(named
response) in the catalog:
swask -s swposix:/tmp/sample.depot.1 -c /tmp/test1.depot Product1
Run request scripts from remote depot /tmp/sample.depot.1
on host swposix only when a
response file is absent, create the catalog
/tmp/test1.depot on the local controller machine, and
place the response file (named response) in the catalog:
swask -s swposix:/tmp/sample.depot.1 -c /tmp/test1.depot
-x ask=as_needed \*
FILES
$HOME/.swdefaults
Contains the user-specific default values for some or all SD options. If this file does not exist, SD
looks for user-specific defaults in $HOME/.sw/defaults.
$HOME/.sw/sessions/
Contains session files automatically saved by the SD commands or explicitly saved by the user.
/usr/lib/sw/sys.defaults
Contains the master list of current SD options, with their default values, for documentation pur-
poses only.
/var/adm/sw/
The directory which contains all of the configurable (and non-configurable) data for SD. This
directory is also the default location of log files.
