Session File
Each invocation of swremove defines a task session. The command automatically saves options, source
information, software selections, and target selections before the task actually commences. This lets you
re-execute the command even if the session ends before the task is complete. You can also save session
information from interactive or command-line sessions.
Session information is saved to the file
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swremove.last
. This file is
overwritten by each invocation of the command. The file uses the same syntax as the defaults files.
From an interactive session, you can save session information into a file at any time by selecting the Save
Session or Save Session As option from the File menu.
From a command-line session, you can save session information by executing the command with the
-C
session__file option. You can specify an absolute path for a session file. If you do not specify a directory,
the default location is $HOME/.sw/sessions/
.
To re-execute a saved session from an interactive session, use the Recall Session option from the File
menu.
To re-execute a session from a command-line, specify the session file as the argument for the
-S option.
When you re-execute a session file, the values in the session file take precedence over values in the sys-
tem defaults file. Likewise, any command-line options and parameters take precedence over the values
in the session file.
Software and Target Lists
The
swremove command supports software and target selection from separate input files.
You can specify software and target selection lists with the
-f and -t options. Software and targets
specified in these files are selected for operation instead of (or in addition to) files listed in the command
line. (See the -f and -t options for more information.)
Additionally, the
swremove interactive user interface reads a default list of hosts on which to operate.
The list is stored in:
/var/adm/sw/defaults.hosts
the system-wide default list of hosts
$HOME/.swdefaults.hosts
the user-specific default list of hosts
For each interactive command, target hosts containing roots or depots are specified in separate lists
(
hosts and hosts_with_depots
respectively.) The list of hosts are enclosed in {} braces and
separated by white space (blank, tab and newline). For example:
swremove.hosts={hostA hostB hostC hostD hostE hostF}
swremove.hosts_with_depots={hostS}
Environment Variables
The environment variables that affect the swremove 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 page by
typing man5sdfor 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.
