HP-UX Software Assistant Reference (November, 2010)

5 Adds very verbose INFO messages.

-x proxy=

Usage: Basic

Proxy host and port (with optional HTTP basic authentication username and password) for

accessing content using the relevant protocol. No proxy information is specified by default.

The following format is used:

service://[user:password@]proxy-server:port

For example: proxy=http://web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088

If username and password are specified as authentication credentials to your proxy server,

HTTP basic authentication is used, which is a clear-text protocol, (that is, your password may

be visible to others on your network). Also, credentials specified on the command-line are

visible to other local users, and access to credentials stored in extended option files are

determined by their permissions. If your proxy server requires another type of authentication,

see the -x download_cmd option. This option is used as the default for the other proxy

settings.

The HTTPS protocol is used for catalog download, the HTTP protocol is used to download the

CRL, and the FTP protocol is used for patch download. The proxy= option controls the default

for all three proxies. See the https_proxy option, the http_proxy option, and the

ftp_proxy option for more details.

-x report_when_no_issues=true

Usage: Intermediate

Controls whether SWA will produce a report to standard output when there are no issues

and/or actions. This is useful, for example, in a cron job where you want email sent to you

only if there is an issue found.

true A standard output report is always produced.

false A standard output report is only produced if there are issues and/or actions.

Hint: To check for error status, use the exit code of the command and check the logfile for

details.

-x ssh_options=

Usage: Intermediate

Options to be passed to ssh. Multiple options may, be included as a space-delimited list. For

example, if you are using SWA in a cronjob, you may want to specify '-o BatchMode=yes'

to return immediately upon failure, rather than prompting for a password.

See ssh_config(5) for additional options.

-x stdout_report_type=action

Usage: Basic

Type of report to display on standard output. This is useful for controlling what type of output

you would like to see. Legal values are:

action Summary of recommended actions

issue Summary of identified issues

detail Recommended actions with issue justification

html Comprehensive HTML report

none No report
