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

s
swlist(1M) swlist(1M)
When set to false and the invoking user is local and is not super-user, nonprivileged mode
is invoked:
• Permissions for operations are based on the user’s file system permissions.
• SD ACLs are ignored.
• Files created by SD have the uid and gid of the invoking user, and the mode of created
files is set according to the invoking user’s umask.
SD’s nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially
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 Distributor
Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com
web site.
See also the
admin_directory
and installed_software_catalog
options.
show_superseded_patches=false
Displays or hides superseded patches in command line
swlist output. In the default
state of
false, swlist will not display superseded patches even if you perform a
swlist command on the superseded patch. Setting this option to true permits display
of superseded patches. This option applies to command line swlist only. In an interac-
tive session, swlist -i always shows superseded patches regardless of the value of this
option.
select_local=true
If no target_selections are specified, select the default
target_directory of the local
host as the target_selection for 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.
software_view=all_bundles
Indicates the software view to be used as the default level for the software listing in the
GUI. It can be set to
all_bundles , products, or a bundle category tag (to indicate to
show only bundles of that category).
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=0
Controls how attribute values are displayed. A value of
0 displays only the attribute value.
1 displays both the attribute keyword and value. (See the -v option above.)
Session File
Each invocation of swlist defines a task session. The command automatically saves options, source
information, software selections, and target selections before the task actually commences. This lets you
re-execute the command even if the session ends before the task is complete. You can also save session
information from interactive or command-line sessions.
Session information is saved to the file $HOME/.sw/sessions/swlist.last
. This file is overwrit-
ten by each invocation of the command. The file uses the same syntax as the defaults files.
From an interactive session, you can save session information into a file at any time by selecting the Save
Session or Save Session As option from the File menu.
From a command-line session, you can save session information by executing the command with the
-Csession__file option. You can specify an absolute path for a session file. If you do not specify a directory,
the default location is $HOME/.sw/sessions/.
To re-execute a saved session from an interactive session, use the Recall Session option from the File menu.
To re-execute a session from a command-line, specify the session file as the argument for the -S option.
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 and parameters take precedence over the values in the
session file.
