Managing and Tuning Jobs with Command
Options
SD-UX command options let you manage and tune job behavior to best
fit your environment, particularly when you run large numbers of jobs.
See “Using Command Options” on page 59 for additional information on
setting command options.
Scheduling Jobs from the Command Line
The -Q date option lets you schedule jobs without starting the Job
Browser. This option is available for swinstall, swcopy, swconfig,
swremove, and swverify.
The format for date is:
MM/DD[/YYYY][,HH:MM][AM|PM]
For example, to install the C and Pascal products at 3 p.m. on June 23,
2001, at 10:14 a.m.:
swinstall -Q 06/23/2001,10:15AM -s sw_server cc pascal
Adding Job Titles
Purpose: to help you identify jobs.
When running large numbers of jobs, you may want to add more
information to help you identify a specific job. You can do this from the
Job Browser or by invoking swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove, and
swverify with the job_title command option. This lets you add an
ASCII string that will be displayed along with the ID and other job
attributes when you invoke swjob or the job browser.
For example, to install the C and Pascal products from depot sw_server
to three remote hosts with a job title of 02-HLLs:
swinstall -s sw_server -x job_title=02-HLLs cc pascal \
@ hostA hostB hostC
