s
swlist(1M) swlist(1M)
within the context of an exported catalog, where instance_id is an integer that distinguishes ver-
sions of products and bundles with the same tag.
Tar get Selection s
swlist supports this syntax for each target_selection.
[host][:][/directory
]
The colon (:) is required if both a host and directory are specified.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Default Options
In addition to the standard options, several SD behaviors and policy options can be changed by editing the
default values found in:
/var/adm/sw/defaults
the system-wide default values.
$HOME/.swdefaults
the user-specific default values.
Values must be specified in the defaults file using this syntax:
[command_name.]option=value
The optional command_name prefix denotes one of the SD commands. Using the prefix limits the change
in the default value to that command. If you leave the prefix off, the change applies to all commands.
You can also override default values from the command line with the -x or
-X options:
command
-x option=value
command -X option_file
The following section lists all of the keywords supported by the swlist commands. If a default value
exists, it is listed after the "=".
The policy options that apply to swlist are:
admin_directory=/var/adm/sw
(for normal mode)
admin_directory=/var/home/LOGNAME/sw
(for nonprivileged mode)
The location for SD logfiles and the default parent directory for the installed software cata-
log. The default value is
/var/adm/sw for normal SD operations. When SD operates in
nonprivileged mode (that is, when the run_as_superuser
default option is set to
true):
• The default value is forced to /var/home/LOGNAME/sw
.
• The path element
LOGNAME is replaced with the name of the invoking user, which SD
reads from the system password file.
• If you set the value of this option to HOME/path, SD replaces HOME
with the invoking
user’s home directory (from the system password file) and resolves path relative to that
directory. For example,
HOME/my_admin
resolves to the my_admin directory in
your home directory.
• If you set the value of the
installed_software_catalog default option to a
relative path, that path is resolved relative to the value of this option.
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
installed_software_catalog and run_as_superuser
options.
agent_timeout_minutes=10000
Causes a target agent to exit if it has been inactive for the specified time. This can be used
to make target agents more quickly detect lost network connections since RPC can take as
long as 130 minutes to detect a lost connection. The recommended value is the longest
period of inactivity expected in your environment. For command line invocation, a value
between 10 minutes and 60 minutes is suitable. A value of 60 minutes or more is recom-
mended when the GUI will be used. The default of 10000 is slightly less than 7 days.
