logfile=/var/adm/sw/swmodify.log
Defines the default log file for
swmodify.
loglevel=1 (for direct invocation)
loglevel=0 (for invocation by a control script)
Controls the log level for the events logged to the
swmodify logfile, the target agent
logfile, and the source agent logfile. This information is in addition to the detail con-
trolled by the
logdetail option. See logdetail for more information.
A value of:
0 provides no information to the log files.
1 enables verbose logging to the log files.
2 enables very verbose logging to the log files.
To enable logging by
swmodify commands invoked by control files, add the following
line to the system defaults file:
swmodify.loglevel=1
lookupcache_timeout_minutes=10
Controls the time in minutes to cache and re-use the results of hostname or IP address
resolution lookups. A value of 0 disables the facility to cache and re-use lookup results.
The maximum value allowed is 10080 minutes, which is one week.
A value of:
0 disables the lookup caching mechanism.
10080 is the maximum value allowed.
patch_commit=false
Commits a patch by removing files saved for patch rollback. When set to true, you can-
not roll back (remove) a patch unless you remove the associated base software that the
patch modified.
run_as_superuser=true
This option controls SD’s nonprivileged mode. This option is ignored (treated as true)
when the invoking user is super-user.
When set to the default value of true, SD operations are performed normally, with per-
missions for operations either granted to a local super-user or set by SD ACLs. (See
swacl (1M) for details on ACLs.)
When set to false and the invoking user is local and is not super-user, nonprivileged
mode is invoked:
• Permissions for operations are based on the user’s file system permissions.
• SD ACLs are ignored.
• Files created by SD have the uid and gid of the invoking user, and the mode of created
files is set according to the invoking user’s umask.
SD’s 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 sys-
tem or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distri-
butor Administration Guide , available at the
http://docs.hp.com
web site.

admin_directory and installed_software_catalog
options.
software=
Defines the default software_selections. There is no supplied default. If there is more
than one software selection, they must be separated by spaces. Software is usually
specified in a software input file, as operands on the command line, or in the GUI.
source_file=
Defines the default location of the source product specification file (PSF). The
host:path syntax is not allowed, only a valid path can be specified. The -s option
overrides this value.
targets=
Defines the default target_selections. There is no supplied default (see select_local
above). If there is more than one target selection, they must be separated by spaces.
Targets are usually specified in a target input file, as operands on the command line, or
