You can also save session information to a specific file by executing
swverify with the -C session__file
option.
A session file uses the same syntax as the defaults files. You can specify an absolute path for the session
file. If you do not specify a directory, the default location for a session file is
$HOME/.sw/sessions/
.
To re-execute a session file, specify the session file as the argument for the
-S session__file option of
swverify.
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 swverify take precedence over the values in the session file.
Environment Variables
SD programs that execute control scripts set environment variables for use by the control scripts.
The environment variables that affect the
swverify command are:
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.
Used by all utilities when displaying dates and times in
stdout, stderr, and logging
.
TZ Determines the time zone for use when displaying dates and times.
Environment variables that affect scripts:
SW_CATALOG
Holds the path to the Installed Products Database (IPD), relative to the path in the
SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY
environment variable. Note that you can specify a path for the IPD
using the
installed_software_catalog
default option.
SW_CONTROL_DIRECTORY
Defines the current directory of the script being executed, either a temporary catalog directory,
or a directory within in the Installed Products Database (IPD). This variable tells scripts where
other control scripts for the software are located (e.g. subscripts).
SW_CONTROL_TAG
Holds the tag name of the control_file being executed. When packaging software, you can define
a physical name and path for a control file in a depot. This lets you define the control_file with a
name other than its tag and lets you use multiple control file definitions to point to the same file.
A control_file can query the
SW_CONTROL_TAG variable to determine which tag is being exe-
cuted.
SW_LOCATION
Defines the location of the product, which may have been changed from the default product
directory. When combined with the SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY, this variable tells scripts where
the product files are located.
SW_PATH
A PATH variable which defines a minimum set of commands available to for use in a control
script (e.g. /sbin:/usr/bin).
