Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

NOTE: All necessary directories under /var/adm/sw will be created by the SD-UX
process. All files under those directories will be filled by SD-UX initiated processes.
Files must never be delivered directly under /var; it is a private directory.
11.4 Using Environment Variables
All control scripts are invoked as the superuser and executed by the agent process.
HP-UX provides environment variables that affect SD-UX commands and scripts. These
variables fall are catgorized as follows:
• Variables that affect all SD-UX commands.
• Variables that affect all SD-UX scripts.
• Variables that affect swinstall and swremove.
11.4.1 Variables That Affect All SD-UX Commands
11.4.1.1 LANG
• This external variable applies to all SD commands except install-sd.
• Determines the language in which messages are displayed. If LANG is not specified
or is set to the empty string, a default value of “C” is used.
• The language in which the SD agent and daemon log messages are displayed is
set by the system configuration variable script, /etc/rc.config.d/LANG. For
example, /etc/rc.config.d/LANG must be set to “LANG=ja_JP.SJIS” or
“LANG=ja_JP.eucJP” to make the agent and daemon log messages display in
Japanese.
You may also use the export LANG= command.
• See the lang(5) man page for more information.
