/var/adm/sw/swinstall.log
(/var/adm/sw/swcopy.log
). Similar messages are logged
by an interactive
swinstall and swcopy session. The user can specify a different logfile by
modifying the logfile option.
Target Log
A swagent process performs the actual install or copy operation at each target_selection.Forinstall
tasks, the
swagent logs messages to the file
var/adm/sw/swagent.log
beneath the root
directory (for example,
/ or an alternate root directory). For copy tasks, the
swagent logs mes-
sages to the file
swagent.log beneath the depot directory (for example,
/var/spool/sw
).
You can view the command and target log files with the
swjob or sd command.
Source Depot Audit Log
If both source and target machine are updated to SD revision B.11.00 or later, the system administra-
tor at the source depot machine can track which user pulls which software from a depot on the source
machine and when the software is pulled. (Note that a user running
swinstall/swcopy
from a
target machine cannot set this option; only the administrator of the source depot machine can set it.
See the source_depot_audit option in the swagent(1M) man page.)
swagentd Disabled
If the
swagentd daemon has been disabled on the host, it can be enabled by the host’s system administra-
tor by setting the SW_ENABLE_SWAGENTD
entry in /etc/rc.config.d/swconfig to
1 and exe-
cuting
/usr/sbin/swagentd -r
.
