Shalom,

First, in generel I unzip/untar the patch.

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /tmp/perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot \*

This depot is not going to autoreboot anything though. Best to just manually boot after the installation or use a script including the line above.

Basically there are two ways to install multiple patches.

First, to do so with only one re-boot, use swcopy to place them all into the same depot, then use swinstall. I do it interactively and select all the patches and click install.

Second, you can use a simple for loop like this:

for i PH*.depot
do
swinstall -x autoreboot-true -x patch_match_target=true
done

Make sure your host name resolution is correct. You might want to run /sbin/set_parms hostname to ensure it's configured properly.

hi,

most probably, the path specified is not correct.

can you retry using the absolute path?

kind regards

Hi,

you missed a space here:
NOT: 'perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot\*'
BUT: 'perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot \*'

Hi Nejad,

Exact syntax is :

swinstall -s /path/to/perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot \*

Did you actually unpack the file or do you still have the tgz file ?

gunzip perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot.tgz
tar xvf perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot.tar

After this you can use the swinstall command.

Hi,

what was the working directory, when you did unpack the *.tgz file? It should have been /tmp .
Please send us the output of
gunzip
to see the directory name after the unpacking of the tgz-file.

The message means exactly what it says - I suspect, that the directory
/tmp/perl-5.8.8-hppa11.11.depot
doesn't exist. Try
ls -l /tmp/perl-5.8.8-hppa11.11.depot

Basically it says it can't see the software.
That's why I wondered if it still was packed and had a different name or something like that.
Is that depot file actually located in /tmp ?
Is your server running HPUX 11.11 ( 11i V1 ) ?
Have you tried to just do
swinstall -s //perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot
( so without the \* at the end of the command )
Might be some obvious questions but you have to start somewhere.

Hi,

possibly the unzip has already been performed - check via
file perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot.tgz

If this is the case, try the tar command directly:
tar tvf perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot.tgz | sed 2q

Unless this is a tar of a directory depot, you should NOT untar this. Just tell swinstall to install directly:
# swinstall -s $PWD/perl-5.8.8-hppa-11.11.depot.tar \*

This is not a text file. I need something that can be seen on HP-UX. Try good old cut&paste.
