Finding Manufacturer of Software Products on HP-UX

[Vineet Deshpande]

Hi,

I want to find the Manufacturer or Vendor of the software products on an HP-UX system. I am able to get this value from "vendor_tag" by using the command /usr/sbin/swlist -vl product.

However as expected due to the -v option this output is very verbose. Is there a way to get this information in any other way without using the -v option? I am interested in parsing this output later so -v is not working well for me.

Please help.

Thanks,

Vineet

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.

I have actually tried it but there's a problem. On one hand I am using the command /usr/sbin/swlist -l product -x one_liner="directory revision"

This is for getting details like version, install location etc. Then when I use
/usr/sbin/swlist -vl product | grep vendor_tag
what happens is I get more results in this output as compared to the earlier command. So the mapping is incorrect between the Products name, version, install location to its Vendor!

Thanks,

Vineet

After you find what you want with -v, you can use "-a attribute" to list only those attributes you want. Some examples:

as Dennis already suggested, you can try this:

# swlist -l product -a vendor_tag
