HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

s
swremove(1M) swremove(1M)
(Hewlett-Packard Company)
the location of the IPD. When this option contains a relative path, the SD controller
appends the value to the value specified by the
admin_directory
option to determine
the path to the IPD. For alternate roots, this path is resolved relative to the location of the
alternate root. This option does not affect where software is installed, only the IPD loca-
tion.
This option permits the simultaneous installation and removal of multiple software applica-
tions by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or group of applications
using a different IPD.
Caution: use a specific
installed_software_catalog
to manage a specific applica-
tion. SD does not support multiple descriptions of the same application in multiple IPDs.
See also the
admin_directory
and run_as_superuser
options, which control SD’s
nonprivileged mode. (This mode is intended only for managing applications that are spe-
cially 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 Distri-
butor Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com
web site.)
job_title=
Specifies an ASCII string giving a title to a job. It is displayed along with the job ID to pro-
vide additional identifying information about a job when swjob is invoked.
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
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 statements, and additional
summary information) to the log file. This information is in addition to log information con-
trolled by the
loglevel option.
See the loglevel option and the sd(5) manual page for more information.
logfile=/var/adm/sw/swremove.log
This is the default command log file for the swremove command.
loglevel=1
Controls the log level for the events logged to the command logfile, the target agent logfile,
and the source agent logfile. This information is in addition to the detail controlled by the
logdetail option.
0 provides no information to the logfile.
1 enables verbose logging to the log files.
2 enables very verbose logging to the log files.
See the logdetail option and the sd(5) manual page for more information.
mount_all_filesystems=true
By default, the swremove command attempts to automatically mount all filesystems in
the /etc/fstab file at the beginning of the analysis phase, to ensure that all listed
filesystems are mounted before proceeding. This policy helps to ensure that files which
may be on mounted filesystems are available to be removed.
If set to false, the mount operation is not attempted, and no check of the current mounts
is performed.
polling_interval=2
Defines the polling interval used by the Interactive UI of the controller. It specifies how
often each target agent will be polled to obtain status information about the task being per-
formed. When operating across wide-area networks, the polling interval can be increased
to reduce network overhead.
