swreg(1M) swreg(1M)
1 enables verbose messaging to stdout.
Session File
Each invocation of the
swreg command defines a registration 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 completion.
Each session is saved to the file
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swreg.last
. This file is overwritten by
each invocation of
swreg.
You can also save session information to a specific file by executing
swreg 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
swreg.
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
swreg take precedence over the values in the session file.
Environment Variables
SD programs are affected by external environment variables.
SD programs that execute control scripts set environment variables for use by the control scripts.
In addition,
swinstall sets environment variables for use when updating the HP-UX operating system
and modifying the HP-UX configuration.
The environment variables that affect the
swreg command are:
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 pages 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.
LC_ALL Determines the locale to be used to override any values for locale categories specified
by the settings of
LANG or any environment variables beginning with LC_.
LC_CTYPE Determines the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for
example, single versus multibyte characters in values for vendor-defined attributes).
LC_MESSAGES
Determines the language in which messages should be written.
LC_TIME Determines the format of dates (create_date and mod_date ) when displayed by
swlist. Used by all utilities when displaying dates and times in stdout, stderr,
and logging.
TZ Determines the time zone for use when displaying dates and times.
Signals
The
swreg command catches the signals SIGQUIT and SIGINT. If these signals are received, swreg
prints a message, sends a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to the daemons to wrap up, and then exits.
RETURN VALUES
The
swreg command returns:
0 The objects_to_register were successfully (un)registered.
1 The register or unregister operation failed on all target_selections.
2 The register or unregister operation failed on some target_selections.
