Update-UX
Command
Description
-s
source_location
Specifies the source containing the new
software depot. Possible locations are a local
directory, a mounted DVD containing a depot,
or a remote system-and-depot combination.
All paths used in the
source_location must
be absolute paths. If
source_location is a
remote system and depot combination, specify
the remote system first, followed by the
absolute path to the remote depot, separated by
a colon with no spaces; for example:
swperf:/var/spool/sw
-? Prints the usage statement.
-p Previews an update task by running the
session through the analysis phase only.
-v Turns on verbose output to stdout.
-f
selection_file Reads the list of software selections from
selection_file instead of (or in addition to)
the command line. This option enables you to
select and update optional software or to
deselect recommended software.
-x option=value Specifies -x verbose options to be applied
during the update. For a typical update, no -x
options are required. For information on -x
options, refer to the swm (1M) manpage or the
Software Distributor Administration Guide.
