Additionally, the
swinstall and swcopy interactive user interfaces read a default list of hosts on
which to operate. The list is stored in:
/var/adm/sw/defaults.hosts
the system-wide default list of hosts
$HOME/.swdefaults.hosts
the user-specific default list of hosts
For each interactive command, target hosts containing roots and target hosts containing depots are
specified in separate lists (
hosts
, hosts_with_depots
, respectively). The list of hosts are enclosed
in
{} braces and separated by white space (blank, tab and newline). For example:
swinstall.hosts={hostA hostB hostC hostD hostE hostF}
swcopy.hosts_with_depots={hostS}
The swinstall and swcopy interactive user interfaces read a default list of patch filters that you can
use as selection criteria for patch software. The list is stored in:
/var/adm/sw/defaults.patchfilters
the system-wide default list of patch filters.
$HOME/.sw/defaults.patchfilters
the user-specific default list of patch filters.
The list of patch filters is enclosed in braces
{} and separated by white space (blank, tab, or newline).
For example:
swinstall.patch_filter_choices={
*.*,c=enhancement
*.*,c=critical
}
swcopy.patch_filter_choices={
Product.Fileset,c=halts_system
}
Environment Variables
The environment variables that affect the swinstall command are:
LANG Determines the language in which messages are displayed. If LANG is not specified or
is set to the empty string, a default value of C is used. See the lang(5) man page by
typing
man5sdfor more information.
NOTE: The language in which the SD agent and daemon log messages are displayed
is set by the system configuration variable script,
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
.For
example,
/etc/rc.config.d/LANG
, must be set to LANG=ja_JP.SJIS or
LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
to make the agent and daemon log messages display in
Japanese.
LC_ALL Determines the locale to be used to override any values for locale categories specified
by the settings of
LANG or any environment variables beginning with LC_.
LC_CTYPE Determines the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for
example, single versus multibyte characters in values for vendor-defined attributes).
LC_MESSAGES
Determines the language in which messages should be written.
LC_TIME Determines the format of dates (create_date and mod_date ) when displayed by
swlist. Used by all utilities when displaying dates and times in stdout, stderr,
and logging.
TZ Determines the time zone for use when displaying dates and times.
Environment variables that affect scripts:
SW_CATALOG
Holds the path to the Installed Products Database (IPD), relative to the path in the
SW_ROOT_DIRECTORY environment variable. Note that you can specify a path for
the IPD using the installed_software_catalog default option.
SW_CONTROL_DIRECTORY
Defines the current directory of the script being executed, either a temporary catalog
directory, or a directory within in the Installed Products Database (IPD). This vari-
able tells scripts where other control scripts for the software are located (for
