HP-UX Reference (11i v3 07/02) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

s
swmodify(1M) swmodify(1M)
A value of:
0 provides no information to the log files.
1 enables verbose logging to the log files.
2 enables very verbose logging to the log files.
To enable logging by swmodify commands invoked by control files, add the following line
to the system defaults file:
swmodify.loglevel=1
patch_commit=false
Commits a patch by removing files saved for patch rollback. When set to
true, you cannot
roll back (remove) a patch unless you remove the associated base software that the patch
modified.
run_as_superuser=true
This option controls SD’s nonprivileged mode. This option is ignored (treated as true) when
the invoking user is super-user.
When set to the default value of true, SD operations are performed normally, with permis-
sions for operations either granted to a local super-user or set by SD ACLs. (See swacl(1M)
for details on ACLs.)
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.
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 is usually specified in a
software input file, as operands on the command line, or in the GUI.
source_file=
Defines the default location of the source product specification file (PSF). The
host:path
syntax is not allowed, only a valid path can be specified. The -s option overrides this
value.
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. Tar-
gets are usually specified in a target input file, as operands on the command line, or in the
GUI.
verbose=1
Controls the verbosity of a non-interactive command’s output:
0 disables output to stdout. (Error and warning messages are always written to stderr).
1 enables verbose messaging to stdout.
2 for swmodify, enables very verbose messaging to stdout.
Session File
Each invocation of the swmodify command defines a modify session. The invocation options, source
information, software selections, and target hosts are saved before the installation or copy task actually
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/swmodify.last. This file is
overwritten by each invocation of swmodify.
