- Command
Description
- swinstall
Installs or updates software to the local host from a CD-ROM/tape
or from a special SD-UX directory called a depot
(see section “Distribution Depots ”). When
you use swinstall,
software is installed directly into the default directory (/) or into an alternate directory
which you specify. swinstall
automatically configures your system to run the software when it
is installed into the default directory. See Chapter 2 “Installing and Copying
Software ” for more information.
- swcopy
Copies software from a CD-ROM/tape into one or more "depots"
on the local host. Software that is copied into a depot
cannot be used; it must be installed from that depot to make it
usable. If your system is to act as a software "source"
by other systems, you must first copy
the software from the physical media into a depot. swcopy can consolidate many
different software products and versions into a depot. Configuration
is not done with swcopy.
See Chapter 2 “Installing and Copying
Software ” for more
information.
- swremove
Deletes software that has been installed on your system. It
also removes software from depots. See Chapter 6 “Removing Software ” for more information.
- swlist
Displays or lists information about software that is installed
on your system, contained in depots or on physical media. See Chapter 5 “Listing Software ” for more information.
- swcluster
Installs software in an NFS Diskless Cluster by:
1) using swinstall
to install the software to the cluster server; or 2) using swinstall -l to linkinstall
the software to the NFS clients, then configuring the software with
swconfig. See
Chapter 2 “Installing and Copying
Software ” and Chapter 6 “Removing Software ” for more information.
- swconfig
Prepares your system to run software that was installed with
swinstall. Although
configuration is automatically performed as part of the swinstall command, swconfig explicitly configures,
reconfigures or unconfigures a host when these actions are needed
separately. See Chapter 3 “Configuring and Verifying Software”
for more information.
- swverify
Compares the original software files on the source against
those that were installed to verify their integrity. Also verifies
software that was copied to a depot. See Chapter 3 “Configuring and Verifying Software” for more information.
- swreg
Normally, the swcopy
command automatically registers newly created
depots to make them "visible" to other systems and the swremove command automatically
"unregisters" them. swreg
registers or unregisters depots when these actions are needed separately.
See Chapter 4 “Registering Software Depots ” for more information.
- swmodify
SD-UX commands automatically keep track of software management
operations by creating an Installed Products Database (IPD) and
various "catalog files" (see section “Installed Products Database ” in this chapter for more information) that
contain information about the software on the system. Although neither
the IPD or catalog files can be edited directly, the swmodify command allows you
to change the contents of these files via the command line. See
Chapter 7 “Modifying IPD or Catalog Contents” for more information.
- swpackage
Allows software vendors and system administrators to "package"
software products onto a tape or depot which is then used as a software
source. System administrators can also use this command to repackage
existing product filesets for installation. See Chapter 9 “Creating Software Packages” for more information.
- swagentd
Software destinations and sources require daemons
and agents to accomplish SD-UX software management
tasks. SD-UX commands interact with the daemon (swagentd) and agent (swagent) running on source
and destination systems. The swagentd
daemon process must be scheduled before a system is available as
a destination. The swagent
process is executed by swagentd
and is never invoked by the user.
- swgettools
In order to load software products from a new SD media, the
local system must first have the SD tools in place that are compatible
with the new SD media. This command is used to load these tools
from the new media onto systems that do not have updated tools.
See Appendix C “Replacing or Updating SD-UX ” for more
information.
- swacl
SD-UX software objects can be protected from unauthorized
access by Access Control Lists (ACLs). swacl lets you specify, view
and change these access permissions. See Chapter 8 “Controlling Access to Software Objects” for more information on SD-UX Software Security.
