ssh://[user@]hostname[:full-path-to-depot]
SSH specification to system or depot, uses SSH to contact host and local swlist of the
system or depot.
The inventory information is cached for later access in a cache directory within the
user_dir. Naming of the inventory files is based on the hostname and path-to-depot as
specified (for example, using the fully qualified domain name of a host will be cached
separately from using the node name, even for the same machine). Refresh of the cached
inventory for each inventory_source is determined by the inventory_max_age
option.
Note: This option is equivalent to -s but is suitable for use within an extended options
file (-X) or configuration file.
[file://]full-path-to-inventory-file]
Inventory file specification, must be a local file.
If an argument is specified in such a way that it could be interpreted as either a system
name or a file name, it will be assumed to be a system name. For example, if foo is the
argument, then it will be interpreted as a system named foo. Alternatively, if ./foo is the
argument, then it will be interpreted as an inventory file named foo residing in the current
directory.
If an inventory file name is not specified, the inventory information is cached for later access
in a cache directory within the user_dir. Naming of these cached inventory files is based
on the hostname and path-to-depot as specified (e.g. using the fully qualified domain name
of a host will be cached separately from using the node name, even for the same machine).
Refresh of the cached inventory for each inventory_source is determined by the
inventory_max_age option.
The following option specifications are examples:
System specification:
-x inventory_source=ssh://[e-mail]
Depot specification:
-x inventory_source=ssh://host.example.com/var/spool/sw
Inventory file specification:
-x inventory_source=file:///home/user/local_inventory.xml
Note: This option is equivalent to -s but is suitable for use within an extended options
file (-X) or configuration file.
-x logfile=/var/opt/swa/swa.log
Usage: Basic
This is the path to the log file for this command. Each time SWA is run, this file will grow larger.
This can be changed, for example, to a month-specific location for easier archiving, off-host
backup, and rotation.
-x log_verbosity=4
Usage: Basic
Specifies the level of message verbosity in the log file (See also -x verbosity). Legal values
are:
0 Only ERROR messages and the starting and ending BANNER messages.
1 Adds WARNING messages.
2 Adds NOTE messages.
3 Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by the '*' character).
4 Adds verbose INFO messages; this is the default.
