s
sd(5) sd(5)
Applies to swpackage and swagent.
uncompress_files=false
If the files being transferred from a source are compressed, setting this option will
uncompress the files before storing them on the target depot.
Applies to
swcopy and swpackage.
use_alternate_source=false
Lets each target agent use its own configured alternate source, instead of the one
specified by the user. If false
, each target agent will use the same source, namely the
source specified by the user and validated by the command. If
true, each target agent
will instead use its own configured value for the source.
Applies to
swcopy and swinstall.
verbose=
Controls the verbosity of a non-interactive command’s output:
0 disables output to stdout. (Error and warning messages are always written to
stderr).
1 enables verbose messaging to stdout.
2 for swpackage and swmodify, enables very verbose messaging to stdout.
For the
swlist command, a verbose listing includes all attributes that have been
defined for the appropriate level of each software_selection operand. The attributes are
listed, one per line, prefaced by the attribute keyword.
The
-v option overrides this default if it is set to 0.
Applies to all commands.
write_remote_files=false
Prevents file operations on remote (NFS) file systems. All files destined for installation,
copy, removal, or packaging on targets on a remote (NFS) file systems are skipped.
If set to true and if the superuser has write permission on the remote file system, the
remote files are not skipped, but are installed, copied, packaged, or removed.
Applies to
swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swpackage, and swremove.
Session Files
Each invocation of an SD command defines a task session . Most SD commands automatically save task
session information (options, source information, software selections, and target selections) before the
task actually commences. This lets you re-execute the command even if the session ends before the task
is complete. You can also save session information from command-line and interactive sessions.
From the command-line, you can save session information by executing the command with the
-C
session__file option. You can specify a relative or absolute path for a session file. If you do not specify a
directory, the default location is $HOME/.sw/sessions/.
From an interactive session, you can save session information into a file at any time by selecting the Save
Session or Save Session As option from the File menu.
Session information is saved to the file:
$HOME/.sw/sessions/command_name.last
For example:
/home/my_user_name/.sw/sessions/swinstall.last
This file is overwritten by each invocation of the command. Contents of the session file use this syntax:
[command_name.]option=value
The command_name prefix denotes the name of the SD command that saved the session information. For
example:
swpackage.verbose=3
To re-execute a session from a command-line, specify the session file as the argument for the -S option.
To re-execute a saved session from an interactive session, use the Recall Session option from the File
menu.
