s
swconfig(1M) swconfig(1M)
select_local=true
If no target_selections are specified, select the local host as the target of the command.
software=
Defines the default software_selections. There is no supplied default. If there is more than
one software selection, they must be separated by spaces.
targets=
Defines the default target_selections. There is no supplied default (see
select_local
above). If there is more than one target selection, they must be separated by spaces.
verbose=1
Controls the verbosity of the output (stdout). A value of
0 disables output to stdout. (Error and warning messages are always written to stderr).
1 enables verbose messaging to stdout.
write_remote_files=false
Prevents the configuring of files on a target which exists on a remote (NFS) filesystem. All
files on a remote filesystem will be skipped.
If set to true and if the superuser has write permission on the remote filesystem, the
remote files will not be skipped, but will be configured.
Session File
Each invocation of the swconfig command defines a configuration session. The invocation options,
source information, software selections, and target hosts are saved before the installation or copy task actu-
ally commences. This lets you re-execute the command even if the session ends before proper completion.
Each session is automatically saved to the file
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swremove.last
. This file is
overwritten by each invocation of
swconfig.
You can also save session information to a specific file by executing
swconfig with the -C session__file
option.
A session file uses the same syntax as the defaults files. If you do not specify a specific path for the session
file, the default location is
$HOME/.sw/sessions/
.
To re-execute a session file, specify the session file as the argument for the
-S session__file option of
swconfig.
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 swconfig take precedence over the values in the session file.
Environment Variables
The environment variables that affect the swconfig 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 lang(5) 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 (for exam-
ple, 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 log-
ging
.
TZ Determines the time zone for use when displaying dates and times.
