NOTE All examples for GUI commands in this manual also apply to the TUI.
Starting the GUI/TUI Commands
To start the GUI or TUI for swinstall, swcopy, or swremove, enter:
/usr/sbin/swinstall
—or—
/usr/sbin/swcopy
—or—
/usr/sbin/swremove
TIP Put /usr/sbin in your PATH to avoid typing the /usr/sbin prefix.
The TUI starts by default if you have not set the DISPLAY variable.
To invoke the GUI and specify other command-line arguments at the
same time, you must include the -i option. For example:
swinstall -i -s sw_server cc pascal
To invoke the swlist GUI, you must use always use the swlist -i
option.
NOTE You can also launch the SD-UX GUIs from HP’s ServiceControl Manager
(SCM) or Systems Administration Manager (SAM) applications.
