Request Script Tasks and Examples

swask Examples

Run all request scripts from the default depot (/var/spool/sw) and write the response file (response) back to the same depot:

swask -s /var/spool/sw \*

Run the request script for Product1 from depot /tmp/sample.depot.1 on remote host swposix, create the catalog
/tmp/test1.depot on the local controller machine, and place the response file (response) in the catalog:

swask -s swposix:/tmp/sample.depot.1 \
-c /tmp/test1.depot Product1

Run request scripts from remote depot /tmp/sample.depot.1
on host swposix only when a response file is absent, create the catalog
/tmp/test1.depot on the local controller machine, and place the response file (response) in the catalog:

swask -s swposix:/tmp/sample.depot.1 \
-c /tmp/test1.depot -x ask=as_needed \*

swinstall Examples

To install all the software from local depot tmp/sample.depot.1 using any response files generated by request scripts:

swinstall -s /tmp/sample.depot.1 -x ask=true \*

To install Product1 from remote depot /tmp/sample.depot.1 on host swposix and use an existing response file (previously generated by the swask command) located in /tmp/bar.depot:

swinstall -s swposix:/tmp/sample.depot.1 \
-c /tmp/bar.depot Product1

To install all products in remote depot /tmp/sample.depot.1 on host swposix, use any response files generated by request scripts, create catalog /tmp/bar.depot and copy all response files to the new catalog:

swinstall -s swposix:/tmp/sample.depot.1 \
-c /tmp/bar.depot -x ask=true \*

To install all products in remote depot /tmp/sample.depot.1 on host swposix, use response files, run request scripts only when a response file is absent, create catalog /tmp/bar.depot and copy all response files to the new catalog:

swinstall -s swposix:/tmp/sample.depot.1 \
-c swposix:/tmp/bar.depot -x ask=as_needed \*

swconfig Examples

To configure Product1, use any associated response files generated by a request script, and save response files under /tmp/resp1:

swconfig -x ask=true -c /tmp/resp1 Product1
