swconfig(1M) swconfig(1M)
If set to true and if the superuser has write permission on the remote filesystem, the
remote files will not be skipped, but will be configured.
Session File
Each invocation of the swconfig command defines a configuration session. The invocation options,
source information, software selections, and target hosts are saved before the installation or copy task actu-
ally commences. This lets you re-execute the command even if the session ends before proper completion.
Each session is automatically saved to the file $HOME/.sw/sessions/swremove.last. This file is
overwritten by each invocation of swconfig.
You can also save session information to a specific file by executing swconfig with the -C session__file
option.
A session file uses the same syntax as the defaults files. If you do not specify a specific path for the session
file, the default location is $HOME/.sw/sessions/.
To re-execute a session file, specify the session file as the argument for the -S session__file option of
swconfig.
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 swconfig take precedence over the values in the session file.
Environment Variables
The environment variable that affects the swconfig command 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 lang(5) 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 (e.g., 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.
Environment variables that affect scripts are:
SW_CATALOG
Holds the path to the Installed Products Database (IPD), relative to the path in the
SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY
environment variable. Note that you can specify a path for the
IPD using the
installed_software_catalog
default option.
SW_CONTROL_DIRECTORY
Defines the current directory of the script being executed, either a temporary catalog direc-
tory, or a directory within in the Installed Products Database (IPD). This variable tells
scripts where other control scripts for the software are located (e.g. subscripts).
SW_CONTROL_TAG
Holds the tag name of the control_file being executed. When packaging software, you can
define a physical name and path for a control file in a depot. This lets you define the
control_file with a name other than its tag and lets you use multiple control file definitions
to point to the same file. A control_file can query the
SW_CONTROL_TAG
variable to
determine which tag is being executed.
