swremove(1M) swremove(1M)

(Hewlett-Packard Company)

• The path element LOGNAME is replaced with the name of the invoking user, which SD

reads from the system password ﬁle.

• If you set the value of this option to HOME/path, SD replaces HOME with the invoking

user’s home directory (from the system password ﬁle) and resolves path relative to that

directory. For example, HOME/my_admin resolves to the my_admin directory in your

home directory.

• If you set the value of the installed_software_catalog default option to a

relative path, that path is resolved relative to the value of this option.

SD’s nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially

designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operating system

or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distributor

Administration Guide, available at the http://docs.hp.com web site.

See also the installed_software_catalog and run_as_superuser options.

agent_auto_exit=true

Causes the target agent to automatically exit after Execute phase, or after a failed Analysis

phase. This is forced to false when the controller is using an interactive user interface,

or when -p (preview) is used. This enhances network reliability and performance. The

default value of true causes the target agent to automatically exit when appropriate.

When set to false, the target agent will not exit until the controller ends the session.

agent_timeout_minutes=10000

Causes a target agent to exit if it has been inactive for the speciﬁed time. This can be used

to make target agents more quickly detect lost network connections since RPC can take as

long as 130 minutes to detect a lost connection. The recommended value is the longest

period of inactivity expected in your environment. For command line invocation, a value

between 10 minutes and 60 minutes is suitable. A value of 60 minutes or more is recom-

mended when the GUI will be used. The default of 10000 is slightly less than 7 days.

allow_split_patches=false

Permits the use of single patch ﬁlesets without "sibling" ﬁlesets. In the default state of

false, removal of a single ﬁleset from a multi-ﬁleset patch automatically includes any

other ﬁleset that are part of the patch, based on the ancestor ﬁlesets of the target ﬁleset.

(This behavior applies to ﬁlesets selected directly by the user and to ﬁlesets automatically

selected by SD to resolve software dependencies.)

When set to true, SD allows a single patch ﬁleset to be removed without including the

sibling ﬁlesets. This allows a target to contain a patch that has been "split" into its com-

ponent ﬁlesets. WARNING: Splitting a patch can create a situation in which one ﬁleset in a

sibling group would be removed by a patch, while the other ﬁlesets would not.

auto_kernel_build=true

Normally set to true. Speciﬁes whether the removal of a kernel ﬁleset should rebuild the

kernel or not. If the kernel rebuild succeeds, the system automatically reboots. If set to

false, the system continues to run the current kernel.

If the auto_kernel_build

option is set to true, the autoreboot option must also

be set to

true. If the auto_kernel_build

option is set to false, the value of the

autoreboot option does not matter.

autoreboot=false

Prevents the removal of software requiring a reboot from the non-interactive interface. If

set to

true, then this software can be removed and the target system(s) will be automati-

cally rebooted.

An interactive session always asks for conﬁrmation before software requiring a reboot is

removed.

If the auto_kernel_build option is set to true, the autoreboot option must also

be set to

true. If the auto_kernel_build option is set to false, the value of the

autoreboot option does not matter.

autoremove_job=false

Controls automatic job removal. If the job is automatically removed, job information (job

status or controller/agent log ﬁles) cannot be queried with

swjob.
