pkgadd

UCS 1000 R4.2 Administration 585-313-507

Issue 3 April 2000 547

The pkgadd command has the following parameters:

Note:

When executed without options, pkgadd uses /var/spool/pkg
(the default spool directory).

When transferring a package to a spool directory, the -r, -n, and -a
options cannot be used.

-a — Define an installation administration file, admin, to be used in place
of the default administration file. The token none overrides the use of any
admin file, and thus forces interaction with the user. Unless a full path
name is given, pkgadd looks in the /var/sadm/install/admin directory for
the file.

-d — Install or copy a package from device. Device can be a full path
name to a directory or the identifiers for tape, floppy disk, or removable
disk (for example, /var/tmp or /floppy/floppyname). It can also be a device
alias (for example, /floppy/floppy0).

-n — Installation occurs in noninteractive mode. The default mode is
interactive.

Note:

The -n option causes the installation to halt if any interaction is
needed to complete it.

pkginst — Specify the package instance or list of instances to be
installed. The token all can be used to refer to all packages available on
the source medium. The format pkginst.* can be used to indicate all
instances of a package.
