Listing Software Installed

Kong Kian Chay — Wed, 21 Mar 2001 07:53:06 GMT

What command can I issue to list the software installed on a HP-UX 10.20 system that were NOT installed via swinstall (w/o doing a visual search thru all the Directories)?
e.g. Abaqus was installed via vendor's CD-ROM directly but cannot be listed via "swlist" & installed Apache also not captured in "swlist".

Hi,

I think this case the program installed by vendor specific methode that is not swinstall there will have no standard command to list that kind of program.

Hi
There is no command which will list this type of software.

One way to track software is on a new build machine is to do at root a ll -R >filelist. This file then becomes your build reference file and can be used for security as well as tracking software instals and where the files have been put.

Thank you for the prompt response. But how about the REGISTRY ? How can we browse the REGISTRY for installed software ?

NOTE : In Win-98, we have command "regedit".

Hi,

We have no registry concept in UNIX

Use swlist -l fileset . Also chck /opt and /var/opt for the files. There is no registry only kernel (do "whatis /stand/vmunix > /tmp/anyname) Then vi the file

Depending on how it was installed you may find it in the directory /usr/adm/sw/products. I can my non-hp software in there as well as the HP software.

Swlist -l product or search in /usr/local.
