Reboot after patching

[wip]

Guys,

I have question.

Is there any way where in which we can change reboot after installing patches to a normal shutdown.What I mean is after installing kernel patches thru swinstall,the machine gets rebooted instead of gracefull shutdown.I want the shutdown to work for me.

Any grand idea would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

A keen HP guy

man swinstall

After software that requires a system reboot is installed or updated, swinstall automatically reboots the system. The reboot command is defined by the swagent option: reboot_cmd.

SD-UX command behaviors and policy options may be changed by modifying default values found in /usr/lib/sw/sys.defaults and storing them in the system level (/var/adm/sw/defaults) or user level ($HOME/.sw/defaults) defaults files. Values in these defaults are specified using this syntax:
command.option=value

For example, to change the use_alternate_source default from "false" to "true" for an installation, edit the defaults file to include this line:

reboot_cmd=/sbin/reboot

This is the command called by the agent to reboot the system.

Applies to swagent.
