HP-UX Software Assistant Reference (November, 2010)

The use of ${proxy} for this option value is substituted with the value of the proxy option
(which is not set by default).
-x http_proxy=${proxy}
Usage: Advanced
Proxy host and port (with optional HTTP basic authentication username and password) for
accessing content using the HTTP protocol. No proxy information is specified by default.
The following format is used:
service://[user:password@]proxy-server:port
For example: http_proxy=http://web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088
The HTTP protocol is the default protocol used to download certificate revocation lists. See the
crl_url option for more details.
The use of ${proxy} for this option value is substituted with the value of the proxy option
(which is not set by default).
-x ignore_file=${user_dir}/ignore
Usage: Basic
Files containing regular expressions, indicating which issues to ignore. Each issue is matched
by a regular expression (see regexp(5)), and is ignored by the analysis. That is, whether or
not the host or depot being analyzed have the identified issue, that issue will not appear on
the report. In addition, software will not be selected for download to address the issue. The
software may still be selected to address a different issue.
When a user first runs SWA, if this file does not exist, a template file is created, which contains
instructions on how to use this file. Upon creation, if a ~/.spc_ignore file exists, it is translated
into the SWA format and appended to the template.
The use of ${user_dir} at the beginning of this option value is substituted with the value of
the user_dir option (which defaults to $HOME/.swa).
-x inventory_max_age=24
Usage: Intermediate
Specifies the age, in hours, of the cached copy of the inventory contents of a given system. If
the inventory becomes too old (based on the timestamp stored in the file), SWA will inventory
the host system/depot again.
Note: There are two special values, 0 and -1. The value of 0 signifies to always update the
file. The value of -1 signifies to never update the file, regardless of age.
-x inventory_source=localhost
Usage: Basic
Note: You may only specify one system, depot (limited use cases), or inventory file for analysis
per invocation of SWA. This option is useful for analyzing a remote system without installing
SWA on that system.
Specify one of the following: a host system or depot to be inventoried, analyzed, and reported
on; or an existing inventory file to be analyzed and reported on.
Specify source as a URL using one of the following formats:
hostname
System specification, uses unauthenticated swlist protocol to gather the host inventory.
[hostname:]full-path-to-depot
Depot specification, also uses swlist protocol (limited use cases).
