s
swconfig(1M) swconfig(1M)
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 informa-
tion.
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 log-
ging
.
TZ Determines the time zone for use when displaying dates and times.
Environment variables that affect scripts are:
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_CONFIG_AFTER_REBOOT
This variable should be read only by the configure script. If this is set to any value
it indicates the configure script was invoked by the swconfig command during
system startup. This variable is set by the /sbin/init.d/swconfig system
startup script.
SW_CONTROL_DIRECTORY
Defines the current directory of the script being executed, either a temporary catalog
