DIAGNOSTICS
The swinstall and swcopy commands write to stdout, stderr, and to specific logfiles.
Standard Output
An interactive swinstall or swcopy session does not write to stdout. A non-interactive swinstall
or swcopy session 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
An interactive swinstall or swcopy session does not write to stderr. A non-interactive swinstall
or swcopy session writes messages for all WARNING and ERROR conditions to stderr.
Logging
Both interactive and non-interactive swinstall and swcopy sessions log summary events at the host
where the command was invoked. They log detailed events to the swagent logfile associated with each
target_selection.
Command Log
The swinstall and swcopy commands log all stdout and stderr messages to the the logfile
/var/adm/sw/swinstall.log
(/var/adm/sw/swcopy.log). Similar messages are logged
by an interactive
swinstall and swcopy session. The user can specify a different logfile by
modifying the logfile option.
Target Log
A swagent process performs the actual installor copy operation at each target_selection.Forinstall
tasks, the
swagent logs messages to the file var/adm/sw/swagent.log
beneath the root
directory (e.g.
/ or an alternate root directory). For copy tasks, the swagent logs messages to the
file
swagent.log beneath the depot directory (e.g. /var/spool/sw
).
You can view the command and target log files with the
swjob or sd
command.
Source Depot Audit Log
If both source and target machine are updated to SD revision B.11.00 or later, the system administra-
tor at the source depot machine can track which user pulls which software from a depot on the source
machine and when the software is pulled. (Note that a user running
swinstall/swcopy
from a
target machine cannot set this option; only the administrator of the source depot machine can set it.
See the source_depot_audit option in the swagent(1M) man page.)
