s
swpackage(1M) swpackage(1M)
source_file=psf
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.
source_type=directory
Defines the default source type: cdrom
, file, directory,ortape. The source type
derived from the
-s option overrides this value.
targets=
Defines the default target_selections. There is no supplied default. 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 in the GUI.
uncompress_cmd=
Defines the command to uncompress files when installing, copying, or packaging. This
command processes files which were stored on the media in a compressed format. If the
compression_type
of the file is gzip then the internal uncompression (
funzip)is
used instead of the external
uncompress_cmd
.
verbose=
Controls the verbosity of a non-interactive command’s output:
0 disables output to stdout. (Error and warning messages are always written to
stderr).
1 enables verbose messaging to stdout.
2 for swpackage and swmodify, enables very verbose messaging to stdout.
The
-v option overrides this default if it is set to 0. Applies to all commands.
write_remote_files=false
Prevents file operations on remote (NFS) file systems. All files destined for packaging on
targets on a remote (NFS) file systems are skipped.
If set to true and if the superuser has write permission on the remote file system, the
remote files are not skipped.
Session File
Each invocation of the swpackage command defines a packaging session. The invocation options,
source information, software selections, and target hosts are saved before the installation or copy task
actually commences. This lets you re-execute the command even if the session ends before proper comple-
tion.
Each session is saved to the file
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swpackage.last
. This file is overwritten
by each invocation of
swpackage.
You can also save session information to a specific file by executing
swpackage with the -C session_file
option.
A session file uses the same syntax as the defaults files. You can specify an absolute path for the session
file. If you do not specify a directory, the default location for a session file is
$HOME/.sw/sessions/
.
To re-execute a session file, specify the session file as the argument for the
-S session_file option of
swpackage.
Note that when you re-execute a session file, the values in the session file take precedence over values in
the system defaults file. Likewise, any command line options or parameters that you specify when you
invoke
swpackage take precedence over the values in the session file.
Environment Variables
The environment variable that affects
swpackage is:
LANG Determines the language in which messages are displayed. If LANG is not specified or
is set to the empty string, a default value of C is used. See the lang(5) man page by
typing man 5 lang for more information.
NOTE: The language in which the SD agent and daemon log messages are displayed
is set by the system configuration variable script,
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG.For
example, /etc/rc.config.d/LANG, must be set to LANG=ja_JP.SJIS or
LANG=ja_JP.eucJP to make the agent and daemon log messages display in
Japanese.
