Software Distributor (SD-UX) Administration Guide HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (762797-001, March 2014)

• reboot_cmd=/sbin/reboot
This is the command called by the agent to reboot the system.
Applies to swagent.
• reconfigure=false
This option prevents software that is already in the configured state from being reconfigured.
If set to true, configured software can be reconfigured.
Applies to swconfig.
• recopy=false
Prevents SD from recopying (overwriting) an existing revision of a fileset. If set to true, the
fileset is recopied.
The reinstall and recopy options are synonymous.
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
• register_new_depot=true
Normally set to true, a newly created depot is registered on its host. This allows other commands
to automatically see this depot.
If set to false, new depots are not registered. This could allow you to create a private depot
on which to test, then later register it with swreg.
Applies only to swcopy.
• register_new_root=true
Causes swinstall to register a newly-created alternate root with the local swagentd, which
lets other SD-UX commands see this root.
If set to false, a new root is not automatically registered. (You can use the swreg command
to register the depot later.)
Applies only to swinstall.
• reinstall=false
Prevents SD from reinstalling (overwriting) an existing revision of a fileset. If set to true, the
fileset is reinstalled.
The reinstall and recopy options are synonymous.
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
• reinstall_files=false
Controls the overwriting of files, which may enhance performance on slow networks or disks.
At the default value of false, SD-UX compares each file in a source fileset to corresponding
files on the target system. SD-UX compares the files based on size, timestamp, and (optionally)
the checksum. If the files are identical the files on the target system are not overwritten.When
set to true, SD-UX does not compare files and overwrites any identical files on the target.
See also the reinstall and reinstall_files_use_cksum options.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swpackage.
• reinstall_files_use_cksum=true, reinstall_files_use_cksum=false (swpackage only)
Controls the use of checksum comparisons when the reinstall_files option is set to false.
The default value of true causes SD-UX to compute and compare checksums to determine if a
new file should overwrite an old file. Use of checksums slows the comparison but is a more
robust check for equivalency than size and time stamp.If set to false, SD-UX does not compute
checksums and compares files only by size and timestamp.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swpackage.
• remove_empty_depot=true
When the last product or bundle in a depot is removed, the depot itself is removed.
