Command Line Arguments
-d
Operate on a depot rather than installed software.
-v
Turn on verbose output to stdout and display all activity to the screen. Lets you
see the results of the command as it executes.
-f software file
Read a list of software selections from a separate file instead of from the command
line.
-x option=value
Specify a value to override a default value or a value in an options file.
Examples
To verify an installed fileset mysoft.myfileset located on the default depot at myhosts, you
would type (You could also omit the @ sign and the myhost designation since the software being
verified is assumed to be located in the default depot on the local host.):
swverify -d mysoft.myfileset @ myhosts
To verify the C and Pascal products that are installed on the local host:
swverify –v C Pascal
Verify the entire contents of a local depot:
swverify -d \* @ /var/spool/sw
NOTE: Look for errors in the /var/adm/sw/swagent.log file.
swconfig Command
The swconfig command lets you explicitly configure, unconfigure and reconfigure software
products that are installed on a local host by executing the configure script. These scripts are
only executed on the host that will actually be running the software.
You can use the swinstall and swremove commands to perform many configuration or
unconfiguration tasks. However, the swconfig command lets you work independently of these
commands. swconfig can also be useful when a configuration fails, is deferred, or must be
changed. It runs only from the command line interface.
