sd(5) sd(5)
Applies to swpackage.
install_cleanup_cmd=/usr/lbin/sw/install_clean
Defines the script called by the agent to perform release-specific install cleanup steps
immediately after the last postinstall script has been run. For an OS update, this script
should at least remove commands that were saved by the
install_setup script. This
script is executed after all filesets have been installed, just before the reboot to the new
operating system.
Applies to
swagent.
Please Note: Transition links do not exist on 11.31 and newer releases so there are no
install cleanup steps to perform therefore the install_cleanup_cmd is never executed for
these releases.
installed_software_catalog=products
Defines the directory path where the Installed Products Database (IPD) is stored. This
information describes installed software. When set to an absolute path, this option defines
the location of the IPD. When this option contains a relative path, the SD controller
appends the value to the value specified by the admin_directory
option to determine
the path to the IPD. For alternate roots, this path is resolved relative to the location of the
alternate root. This option does not affect where software is installed, only the IPD loca-
tion.
This option permits the simultaneous installation and removal of multiple software applica-
tions by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or group of applications
using a different IPD.
Caution: use a specific
installed_software_catalog
to manage a specific applica-
tion. SD does not support multiple descriptions of the same application in multiple IPDs.
See also the
admin_directory
and run_as_superuser options, which control SD’s
nonprivileged mode. (This mode is intended only for managing applications that are spe-
cially 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 Distri-
butor Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com web site.)
Applies to all SD commands except
swacl, swask, swconfig, swinstall, swlist,
swmodify, swremove, and swverify.
install_setup_cmd=/usr/lbin/sw/install_setup
Defines the script called by the agent to perform release-specific install preparation. For an
OS update, this script should at least copy commands needed for the checkinstall, prein-
stall, and postinstall scripts to a path where they can be accessed while the real commands
are being updated. This script is executed before any kernel filesets are loaded.
Applies to swagent.
Please Note: Transition links do not exist on 11.31 and newer releases so there are no
install setup steps to perform therefore the install_setup_cmd is never executed for these
releases.
job_title=
This is an ASCII string giving a title to a job. It is displayed along with the job ID to pro-
vide additional identifying information about a job when swjob is invoked.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove , and swverify.
kernel_build_cmd=/usr/sbin/mk_kernel
Defines the script called by the agent for kernel building.
Applies to swagent.
kernel_path=/stand/vmunix
Defines the path to the system’s bootable kernel. This path is passed to the
kernel_build_cmd via the SW_KERNEL_PATH environment variable.
Applies to
swagent.
layout_version=1.0
Specifies the POSIX layout_version to which the SD commands conform when
