• 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.
select_local=true
If no target_selections are specified, select the default root directory
/ (swinstall ), or
the default
target_directory
(swcopy), at the local host as the target of the com-
mand.
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).
source=
Specify a source to automatically bypass the GUI and CLI source selection dialog box. This
has the same effect as the -ssource command line option. Specify the source using the fol-
lowing syntax.
[path]
source_cdrom=/SD_CDROM
Defines the default location of the source CD-ROM using the syntax [host]:[
path].
source_tape=/dev/rmt/0m
Defines the default location of the source tape, usually the character-special file of a local
tape device. You can also use the [host]:[path] syntax, but the host must match the local
host. The
-s option overrides this value. (Note that SD can read both tar and cpio
tape depots.)
source_type=directory
Defines the default source type: cdrom, directory ,ortape. The source type derived
from the -s option overrides this value. (SD can read both tar and cpio tape depots.)
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.
uncompress_files=false
(Applies only to swcopy.) If set to true, files being transferred from a source are
uncompressed before swcopy store them on the target depot.
use_alternate_source=false
Empowers each target agent to use its own, configured alternate source, instead of the one
specified by the user. If false, each target agent uses the same source (the source
specified by the user and validated by the command). If true, each target agent uses its
own configured value for the source.
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 installation or copying of files to a target which exists on a remote filesystem.
All files destined for a remote filesystem are skipped.
If set to true and if the superuser has write permission on the remote filesystem, the
remote files are installed or copied.
