the other commands use to contact the daemon. If the connection fails for one protocol
sequence, the next is attempted. SD supports both the tcp (
ncacn_ip_tcp:[2121]
)
and udp (
ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]
) protocol sequence on most platforms. See the sd(5)
man page by typing
man5sdfor more information.
rpc_timeout=5
Relative length of the communications timeout. This is a value in the range from 0 to 9
and is interpreted by the DCE RPC. Higher values mean longer times; you may need a
higher value for a slow or busy network. Lower values will give faster recognition on
attempts to contact hosts that are not up, or are not running
swagentd. Each value is
approximately twice as long as the preceding value. A value of 5 is about 30 seconds for
the
ncadg_ip_udp protocol sequence. This option may not have any noticeable impact
when using the ncacn_ip_tcp protocol sequence.
run_as_superuser=true
This option controls SD’s nonprivileged mode. This option is ignored (treated as true)
when the invoking user is super-user.
When set to the default value of true, SD operations are performed normally, with per-
missions for operations either granted to a local super-user or set by SD ACLs. (See
swacl(1M) for details on ACLs.)
When set to false and the invoking user is local and is not super-user, nonprivileged
mode is invoked:
• Permissions for operations are based on the user’s file system permissions.
• SD ACLs are ignored.
• Files created by SD have the uid and gid of the invoking user, and the mode of created
files is set according to the invoking user’s umask.
SD’s nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially
designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operating sys-
tem or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distri-
butor Administration Guide, available at the
http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs
web site.

admin_directory
and installed_software_catalog options.
select_local=true
If no target_selections are specified, select the default
target_directory of the local
host as the target_selection for the command.
software=
Defines the default software_selections. There is no supplied default. If there is more
than one software selection, they must be separated by spaces. Software is usually
specified in a software input file, as operands on the command line, or in the GUI.
targets=
Defines the default target_selections. There is no supplied default (see select_local
above). If there is more than one target selection, they must be separated by spaces.
Targets can be specified in a target input file or as operands on the command line.
verbose=1
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.
The
-v option overrides this default if it is set to 0.
Session File
Each invocation of the
swverify command defines a verify session. The invocation options, source
information, software selections, and target hosts are saved before the installation or copy task actually
commences. This lets you re-execute the command even if the session ends before proper completion.
Each session is saved to the file
$HOME/.sw/sessions/swverify.last. This file is overwritten by
each invocation of swverify.
