SW_LOCATION
Defines the location of the product, which may have been changed from the default product
directory. When combined with the SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY, this variable tells scripts
where the product files are located.
SW_PATH
A PATH variable which defines a minimum set of commands available for use in a control
script (e.g. /sbin:/usr/bin).
SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY
Defines the root directory in which the session is operating, either "/" or an alternate root
directory. This variable tells control scripts the root directory in which the products are
installed. A script must use this directory as a prefix to SW_LOCATION to locate the
product’s installed files. The configure script is only run when SW_ROOT_DIRECTORYis
/.
SW_SESSION_OPTIONS
Contains the pathname of a file containing the value of every option for a particular com-
mand, including software and target selections. This lets scripts retrieve any command
options and values other than the ones provided explicitly by other environment variables.
For example, when the file pointed to by
SW_SESSIONS_OPTIONS
is made available to
a request script, the targets option contains a list of software_collection_specs for all tar-
gets specified for the command. When the file pointed to by
SW_SESSIONS_OPTIONS
is
made available to other scripts, the targets option contains the single
software_collection_spec for the targets on which the script is being executed.
SW_SOFTWARE_SPEC
This variable contains the fully qualified software specification of the current product or
fileset. The software specification allows the product or fileset to be uniquely identified.
Signals
The swconfig command catches the signals SIGQUIT and SIGINT, and SIGUSR1. If these signals are
received, swconfig prints a message, sends a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to the agents to wrap up,
and then exits.
The agent ignores SIGHUP, SIGINT, and SIGQUIT. It immediately exits gracefully after receiving
SIGTERM, SIGUSR1, or SIGUSR2. Killing the agent may leave corrupt software on the system, and thus
should only be done if absolutely necessary. Note that when an SD command is killed, the agent does not
terminate until completing the task in progress.
The daemon ignores SIGHUP, SIGINT and SIGQUIT. It immediately exits gracefully after receiving
SIGTERM and SIGUSR2. After receiving SIGUSR1, it waits for completion of a copy or remove from a
depot session before exiting, so that it can register or unregister depots if necessary. Requests to start new
sessions are refused during this wait.
Each agent will complete the configuration task (if the execution phase has already started) before it wraps
up. This avoids leaving software in a corrupt state.
RETURN VALUES
The swconfig command returns:
0 The software_selections were successfully configured.
1 The configure operation failed on all target_selections.
2 The configure operation failed on some target_selections.
DIAGNOSTICS
The
swconfig command writes to stdout, stderr, and to specific logfiles.
Standard Output
The swconfig command writes messages for significant events. These include:
• a begin and end session message,
• selection, analysis, and execution task messages for each target_selection.
Standard Error
The swconfig command also writes messages for all WARNING and ERROR conditions to stderr.
