[host ][: ][/directory]
A host may be specified by its host name, domain name, or Internet address. A direc-
tory must be specified by an absolute path.
-S session_file
Execute swinstall or swcopy based on the options and operands saved from a
previous session, as defined in session_file. You can save session information from a
command-line session with the -C session_file option.
-t target_file Read the list of target_selections from target_file instead of (or in addition to) the com-
mand line.
-x option=value
Set the session option to value and override the default value (or a value in an alter-
nate option_file specified with the -X option). Multiple -x options can be specified.
-X option_file Read the session options and behaviors from option_file.
Operands
The swinstall and swcopy commands support two types of operands: software selections followed by
target selections. These operands are separated by the "@" (at) character. This syntax implies that the com-
mand operates on "software selections at targets".
Software Selections
The selections operands consist of software_selections.
swinstall and swcopy support the following syntax for each software_selection:
bundle
[.product[.subproduct][.fileset]][,version]
product[.subproduct][.fileset][,version]
• The = (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the following shell wildcard
and pattern-matching notations:
[], *, ?
For example, the following expression installs all bundles and products with tags that end with
"man":
swinstall -s sw_server *man
• Bundles and subproducts are recursive. Bundles can contain other bundles and subproducts can
contain other subproducts. For example:
swinstall bun1.bun2.prod.sub1.sub2.fset,r=1.0
or (using expressions):
swinstall bun[12].bun?.prod.sub*,a=HP-UX
• The \* software specification selects all products. Use this specification with caution.
The version component has the form:
[,r <op> revision][,a <op> arch][,v <op> vendor]
[,c
<op> category][,q=qualifier][,l=location]
[,fr
<op> revision][,fa <op> arch]
• location applies only to installed software and refers to software installed to a location other than
the default product directory.
• fr and fa apply only to filesets.
• The <op> (relational operator) component can be of the form:
=, ==, >=, <=, <, >,or!=
which performs individual comparisons on dot-separated fields.
For example, r>=B.10.00 chooses all revisions greater than or equal to B.10.00. The sys-
tem compares each dot-separated field to find matches.
