Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

software selections, and target hosts—are automatically saved. This lets you re-execute
the command even if the session ends before proper completion. (See “Session Files”
(page 52).)
You can save session information into a file at any time by selecting the Save Session
or Save Session As choice from the File menu. The Recall Session choice lets you
import the settings from a previously saved session file. Clear Session resets all options
and operands to their default values.
Each session is saved to a file for that command. For example:
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swinstall.last
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swcopy.last
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swremove.last
This file is overwritten by each time you start the GUI.
NOTE: When you re-execute a session file, the values in the session file take precedence
over values in the system defaults file. Likewise, any command line options or
parameters that you specify when you invoke the GUI take precedence over the values
in the session file.

Editor ”,), which lets you reformat the columns for the current object list. All viewable
object attributes are listed.
