You can also save session information to a specific file by executing
swmodify with the -C session__file
option.
A session file uses the same syntax as the defaults files. You can specify an absolute path for the session
file. If you do not specify a directory, the default location for a session file is
$HOME/.sw/sessions/
.
To re-execute a session file, specify the session file as the argument for the
-S session__file option of
swmodify. See the swpackage(4) by typing
man 4 swpackage for PSF syntax.
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
swmodify take precedence over the values in the session file.
Environment Variables
The environment variable that affects swmodify
is:
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 the lang(5) man page by
typing
man 5 lang for more information.
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.
Signals
The swmodify command ignores SIGHUP, SIGTERM, SIGUSR1, and SIGUSR2. The
swmodify com-
mand catches SIGINT and SIGQUIT. If these signals are received,
swmodify prints a message and
then exits. During the actual database modifications,
swmodify blocks these signals (to prevent any data
base corruption). All other signals result in their default action being performed.
RETURN VALUES
The swmodify command returns:
0 The add, modify, or delete operation(s) were successfully performed on the given
software_selections.
1 An error occurred during the session (e.g. bad syntax in the PSF, invalid software_selection, etc.)
Review stderr or the logfile for details.
DIAGNOSTICS
The
swmodify command writes to stdout, stderr, and to specific logfiles.
Standard Output
In verbose mode, the swmodify command writes messages for significant events. These include:
• a begin and end session message,
• selection, analysis, and execution task messages.
Standard Error
The swmodify command also writes messages for all WARNING and ERROR conditions to stderr.
