Not sure what you are asking here. Specifying swinstall without any arguments will bring up the graphical or gui display where you can then specificy source and target.

If you want to specify source from command line use swinstall -s .

I've seen this before. Try stopping the swagentd and restarting.

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

This happened to us when we changed the name of the box and swagentd was running.

Hi,

could it be possible you just have a problem with the display or terminal settings???

How do you access the machine? X-Window based (Reflection, Exceed), telnet via DOS box, ???

Bernhard
