(HP-UX Software Distributor)

names associated with the older layout version, but you should use

layout_version=0.8

only to create distributions readable by older versions of SD.

See the description of the

layout_version

option in sd(5) for more information.

log_msgid=0

Adds numeric identiﬁcation numbers at the beginning of SD logﬁle messages:

0 (default) No identiﬁers are attached to messages.

1 Adds identiﬁers to ERROR messages only.

2 Adds identiﬁers to ERROR and WARNING messages.

3 Adds identiﬁers to ERROR, WARNING, and NOTE messages.

4 Adds identiﬁers to ERROR, WARNING, NOTE, and certain other informational mes-

sages.

logdetail=false

The logdetail option controls the amount of detail written to the log ﬁle. When set to

true, this option adds detailed task information (such as options speciﬁed, progress state-

ments, and additional summary information) to the log ﬁle. This information is in addition

to log information controlled by the loglevel

option.

logfile=/var/adm/sw/sw<modify>.log

Deﬁnes the default log ﬁle for swmodify.

loglevel=1

Controls the log level for the events logged to the swmodify logﬁle, the target agent

logﬁle, and the source agent logﬁle. This information is in addition to the detail controlled

by the logdetail option. See logdetail for more information.

A value of

0 provides no information to the log ﬁles.

1 enables verbose logging to the log ﬁles.

2 enables very verbose logging to the log ﬁles.

patch_commit=false

Commits a patch by removing ﬁles saved for patch rollback. When set to true, you cannot

roll back (remove) a patch unless you remove the associated base software that the patch

modiﬁed.

run_as_superuser=true

This option controls SD’s nonprivileged mode. This option is ignored (treated as true) when

the invoking user is super-user.

When set to the default value of true, SD operations are performed normally, with permis-

sions for operations either granted to a local super-user or set by SD ACLs. (See swacl(1M)

for details on ACLs.)

When set to false and the invoking user is local and is not super-user, nonprivileged mode

is invoked:

• Permissions for operations are based on the user’s ﬁle system permissions.

• SD ACLs are ignored.

• Files created by SD have the uid and gid of the invoking user, and the mode of created

ﬁles is set according to the invoking user’s umask.

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.
