swjob
To display attributes of jobs on the local system, type:
swjob -v
To display attributes of jobs on remote system swbash3, type:
swjob -v @ swbash3:/var/spool/sw
Using the -a logoption lets you display log files for jobs. A job log file summarizes
job details and target actions. For example, to display the depot log file for the job
swbash3-0008 on remote system swbash3:
swjob -a log swbash3-0008 @ swbash3:/var/spool/sw
NOTE: You cannot specify any other -a options in the same command if you use -a
log.
To remove job information for all previous jobs:
swjob -u \*
6.4 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” (page 50) for additional information on setting
command options.
6.4.1 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 on June 23, 2001, at 10:14 a.m.:
swinstall -Q 06/23/2001,10:15AM -s sw_server cc pascal
6.4.2 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.
