HP-UX Reference (11i v2 07/12) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

s
swinstall(1M) swinstall(1M)
The swinstall and swcopy interactive user interfaces read a default list of patch filters that you can
use as selection criteria for patch software. The list is stored in:
/var/adm/sw/defaults.patchfilters
the system-wide default list of patch filters.
$HOME/.sw/defaults.patchfilters
the user-specific default list of patch filters.
The list of patch filters is enclosed in braces {} and separated by white space (blank, tab, or newline). For
example:
swinstall.patch_filter_choices={
*.*,c=enhancement
*.*,c=critical
}
swcopy.patch_filter_choices={
Product.Fileset,c=halts_system
}
Environment Variables
The environment variables that affect the swinstall 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 typ-
ing
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 (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.
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 (for example,
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_LOCATION
Defines the location of the product, which may have been changed from the default pro-
duct directory. When combined with the SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY, this variable tells
scripts where the product files are located.
