HP-UX Reference (11i v3 07/02) - 5 Miscellaneous Topics (vol 9)

s
sd(5) sd(5)
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.
Applies to all commands.
uncompress_cmd=
Defines the command to uncompress files when installing, copying, or packaging. This
command processes files which were stored on the media in a compressed format. If the
compression_type
of the file is gzip then the internal uncompression (
funzip)is
used instead of the external
uncompress_cmd
.
Applies to
swpackage and swagent.
uncompress_files=false
If the files being transferred from a source are compressed, setting this option will
uncompress the files before storing them on the target depot.
Applies to swcopy and swpackage.
use_alternate_source=false
Lets each target agent use its own configured alternate source, instead of the one specified
by the user. If false, each target agent will use the same source, namely the source
specified by the user and validated by the command. If true, each target agent will
instead use its own configured value for the source.
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
verbose=
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 swpackage and swmodify, enables very verbose messaging to stdout.
For the swlist command, a verbose listing includes all attributes that have been defined
for the appropriate level of each software_selection operand. The attributes are listed, one
per line, prefaced by the attribute keyword.
The
-v option overrides this default if it is set to 0.
Applies to all commands.
write_remote_files=false
Prevents file operations on remote (NFS) file systems. All files destined for installation,
copy, removal, or packaging on targets on a remote (NFS) file systems are skipped.
If set to true and if the superuser has write permission on the remote file system, the
remote files are not skipped, but are installed, copied, packaged, or removed.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swpackage , and swremove.
Session Files
Each invocation of an SD command defines a task session. Most SD commands automatically save task ses-
sion information (options, source information, software selections, and target selections) before the task
actually commences. This lets you re-execute the command even if the session ends before the task is com-
plete. You can also save session information from command-line and interactive sessions.
From the command-line, you can save session information by executing the command with the -C
session__file option. You can specify a relative or absolute path for a session file. If you do not specify a
directory, the default location is $HOME/.sw/sessions/.
From an interactive session, you can save session information into a file at any time by selecting the Save
Session or Save Session As option from the File menu.
Session information is saved to the file:
$HOME/.sw/sessions/command_name.last
