session__file option of swinstall or swcopy.
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 swinstall or swcopy take precedence over the values in the session file.
Software and Target Lists
Most SD commands support software and target selections from separate input files (see the -f and -t
command-line options). Software and targets specified in these files will be selected for operation. swin-
stall
and swcopy also support an interactive read and save of target and software groups. Target and
software groups can be saved in files (default location $HOME/.sw/targets/ and
$HOME/.sw/software/) and then selected in subsequent swinstall and swcopy operations.
Additionally, the swinstall and swcopy interactive user interfaces read 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 and target hosts containing depots are
specified in separate lists ( hosts
, hosts_with_depots
, respectively). The list of hosts are enclosed
in {} braces and separated by white space (blank, tab and newline). For example:
swinstall.hosts={hostA hostB hostC hostD hostE hostF}
swcopy.hosts_with_depots={hostS}
The swinstall and swcopy interactive user interfaces read a default list of patch filters that you can
use as selection criteria for patch software. The list is stored in:
/var/adm/sw/defaults.patchfilters
the system-wide default list of patch filters.
$HOME/.sw/defaults.patchfilters
the user-specific default list of patch filters.
The list of patch filters is enclosed in braces {} and separated by white space (blank, tab, or newline). For
example:
swinstall.patch_filter_choices={
*.*,c=enhancement
*.*,c=critical
}
swcopy.patch_filter_choices={
Product.Fileset,c=halts_system
}
Environment Variables
The environment variable that affects the swinstall 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 the lang(5) man page by typing
man 5 sd 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.
