swconfig configures, unconfigures, and reconfigures installed software
on a host. swconfig is a distributed utility. Neither swconfig nor
any component of swbis is required on the target host, however, the
target host must look like a Unix system at the shell and command-line
utility level. Remote network connections are made by ssh. Ssh is the
default but rsh can be selected by a command line option.
swconfig operates on installed software and performs configuration
primarily by executing the configure or unconfigure control scirpts.
If these scripts do not exists for an installed package, then swconfig
takes no action.
-f FILE
Read the list of software selections from FILE.
-p
Preview mode, establish contact with target host, however,
modify nothing.
-u
Undo, run the unconfigure script.
-c catalog
Specify a file of PSF or INDEX syntax or a directory containing
the exported catalog.
Note: This option is not yet implemented.
-t targetfile
Specify a file containing a list of targets (one per line).
-v
Increment the verbose level.
-x option=value
Specify the extended option overriding the defaults file value.
-X FILE
Specify the extended options filename, FILE, overriding the
default filenames. This option may be given more then once. If
the resulting specified value is an empty string then reading of
any options file is disabled.
--help
Show help (Implementation extension)
-W option[,option,...]
Specify the implementation extension option.
Syntax: -W option[=option_argument[,option...]
Options may be separated by a comma. The implementation
extension options may also be given individually using the
'--long-option[=option_arg]' syntax.
--postinstall
run the postinstall or unpostinstall script
--force-locks
override locking and delete existing lock
--send-environment
Include existing environment variables in the remote host's
execution environment. System and common varaiables are
excluded and checks are made for tainted values.
--allow-ambig
Allows swconfig to act on all matching entries. Without this
option a software selection that matches more than one installed
software entry is an error.
--sig-level=N
Specify number of required GPG signatures, N equal to 0 means
don't require the catalog to be signed.
-W remote-shell=SHELL
Defaults File Option: swbis_remote_shell_client
Supported shells are "ssh" and "rsh", ssh is the default.
-W show-options-files
Show the complete list of options files and if they are found.
-W show-options
Show the options after reading the files and parsing the command
line options.
-W pax-command={tar|pax|star|gtar}
Set the portable archive command for all operations. The
default is "pax".
-W pax-read-command={tar|pax|star|gtar}
Set the read command for local and remote hosts.
-W remote-pax-read-command={tar|pax|star|gtar}
Defaults File Option: swbis_remote_pax_read_command
Set the read command for remote hosts. This is the command that
runs on the target (e.g. pax -r, tar xpf -). The default is
"pax".
-W local-pax-read-command={tar|pax|star|gtar}
Defaults File Option: swbis_local_pax_read_command
Set the read command for local hosts. This is the command that
runs on the target (e.g. pax -r, tar xpf -). The default is
"pax".
-W pax-write-command={tar|pax|star|gtar|swbistar}
Set the write command for local and remote hosts. This is the
command that runs on the target (e.g. pax -w, tar cf -).
-W remote-pax-write-command={tar|pax|star|gtar|swbistar}
Defaults File Option: swbis_remote_pax_write_command
Set the write command for remote hosts.
-W local-pax-write-command={tar|pax|star|gtar|swbistar}
Defaults File Option: swbis_local_pax_write_command
Set the portable archive write command for local host
operations. This is the command that runs on the source (e.g.
pax -w, tar cf -). The default is "pax".
-W remote-pax-write-command={tar|pax|star|gtar|swbistar}
Defaults File Option: swbis_remote_pax_write_command
Set the portable archive write command for remote host
operations. This is the command that runs on the source (e.g.
pax -w, tar cf -). The default is "pax".
-W no-defaults
Do not read any defaults files.
-W no-getconf
Defaults File Option: swbis_no_getconf
Makes the remote command be '/bin/sh -s' instead of the default
'PATH=`getconf PATH` sh -s'.
-W shell-command=NAME
Defaults File Option: swbis_shell_command
NAME may be one of "bash", "sh" or "posix" and specifies the
remote command run by the remote shell. "posix" is
'PATH=`getconf PATH` sh -s', "bash" is "/bin/bash -s", "sh" is
"/bin/sh -s", and "ksh" is "ksh -s". The default is "posix".
-W use-getconf
Opposite of --no-getconf.
-W source-script-name=NAME
Write the script that is written into the remote shell's stdin
to NAME. This is useful for debugging.
-W target-script-name=NAME
Write the script that is written into the remote shell's stdin
to NAME. This is useful for debugging.
software_selections
Refer to the software objects (products, filesets) using
software spec syntax. (See sw(5) for syntax).
target
Refers to the software_collection where the software selections
are to be applied. Allows specification of host and pathname
where the software collection is located. A target that
contains only one part is assumed to be a hostname. To force
interpretation as a path, use a absolute path or prefix with
':'.
Source and Target Specification and Logic
Synopsis:
Posix:
host[:path]
host
host:
/path # Absolute path
Swbis Extension:
[user@]host[:path]
[user@]host_port[:path]
:path
Swbis Multi-hop Target Extension:
# ':' is the target delimiter
# '_' delimits a port number in the host field
[user@]host[@@[user@]host[@@...]][:file]
[user@]host_port[@@[user@]host[@@...]][:file]
# Using ':', a trailing colon is used to
# disambiguate between a host and file.
# For Example,
:file
host:
host
host:file
host:host:
host_port:host_port:
host:host:file
user@host:user@host:
user@host:user@host:host:
user@host:user@host:file
A more formal description:
target : HOST_CHARACTER_STRING ':' PATHNAME_CHARACTER_STRING
| HOST_CHARACTER_STRING ':'
| HOST_CHARACTER_STRING
| PATHNAME_CHARACTER_STRING
| ':' PATHNAME_CHARACTER_STRING # Impl extension
;
PATHNAME_CHARACTER_STRING must be an absolute path unless
a HOST_CHARACTER_STRING is given. Allowing
a relative path is a feature of the swbis
implementation.
NOTE: A '.' as a target is an implementation
extension and means extract in current
directory.
NOTE: A '-' indicating stdout/stdin is an
implementation extension.
NOTE: A ':' in the first character indicates a filename.
This is an implementation extension.
HOST_CHARACTER_STRING is an IP or hostname.
Examples:
Copy the distribution /var/tmp/foo.tar.gz at 192.168.1.10
swcopy -s /var/tmp/foo.tar.gz @192.168.1.10:/root
Implementation Extension Syntax (multi ssh-hop) :
Syntax:
%start wtarget # the Implementation Extension Target
# Note: a trailing ':' forces interpretation
# as a host, not a file.
wtarget : wtarget DELIM sshtarget
| sshtarget
| sshtarget DELIM
;
sshtarget : user '@' target # Note: only the last target
| target # may have a PATHNAME, and only a host
; * may have a user
target : HOST_CHARACTER_STRING
| PATHNAME_CHARACTER_STRING
;
user : PORTABLE_CHARACTER_STRING # The user name
DELIM : ':' # The multi-hop delimiter.
;
Run the configure script for package foo on 192.168.1.2:/
swconfig foo @ root@192.168.1.2:/
Show the options
swconfig --show-options
Extended options can be specified on the command line using the -x
option or from the defaults file, swdefaults. Shown below is an actual
portion of a defaults file which show default values.
POSIX
These options are set in the /usr/lib/swbis/swdefaults or the
~/.swdefaults on the local (management host, host where swconfig is
invoked). These files on the target host are not used.
allow_incompatible = false # Not implemented
allow_multiple_versions = false # Not implemented
ask = false # Not implemented
autoselect_dependencies = true # Not implemented
autoselect_dependents = true # Not implemented
enforce_dependencies = true # Not implemented
installed_software_catalog = var/lib/swbis/catalog/
logfile = /var/log/sw.log
loglevel = 1
select_local = true # Not implemented
reconfigure = false
verbose = 1
Swbis Implementation
These options are set in the /usr/lib/swbis/swbisdefaults or the
~/.swbis/swbisdefaults file.
swconfig.swbis_no_getconf = true # true or false
swconfig.swbis_shell_command = posix # {sh|bash|posix|ksh}
swconfig.swbis_no_remote_kill = false # true or false
swconfig.swbis_local_pax_write_command=tar #{pax|tar|star|gtar}
swconfig.swbis_remote_pax_write_command=tar #{pax|tar|star|gtar}
swconfig.swbis_local_pax_read_command=tar #{pax|tar|gtar|star}
swconfig.swbis_remote_pax_read_command=tar #{pax|tar|gtar|star}
swconfig.swbis_local_pax_remove_command=tar
swconfig.swbis_remote_pax_remove_command=tar
swconfig.swbis_remote_shell_client=ssh
swconfig.swbis_forward_agent=True
swconfig.swbis_sig_level=0
swconfig.swbis_enforce_all_signatures=false
0 if all targets succeeded, 1 if all targets failed or internal error,
2 if some targets failed and some succeeded.
Multiple ssh-hops is an implementation extension.
The swbis distributed utilities require bash, public domain ksh, or
Sun's /usr/xpg4/bin/sh to be present on the target host. If the
swbis_shell_command extended option is set to 'detect' you don't have
to know which one is present, otherwise you may specify one explicitly.
A POSIX awk is required, and with the ability to specify several
thousand bytes of program text as a command argument. GNU awk works,
as does the ATT Awk book awk, and the awk on BSD systems. See the
INSTALL file for further details regarding a small issue with the
OpenSolaris (c.2006) awk.
GNU Privacy Guard, gpg is required for verification of package
signatures.
Other utilities required to be in $PATH on the remote host are: dd, pax
(or tar|star|gtar), mkdir, echo, test, sleep, read (if not builtin).
