[Dan Copeland]

how do you do this?

# swinstall -s /depot/Name \*

Add other swinstall options, if any, before '-s'.

[Dan Copeland]

ok, that will work.

is there anyway to do it once you already have the text based user interface up w/o marking each one by hitting the space bar?

[Biswajit Tripathy]

When you said text version of swinstall, I did not
realise that you are talking about curses based
interface of swinstall while running interactively.

One way to select all the products while running
swinstall interactively would be to go to "Action" and
select "Match What Target Has". This should match
all the products.

Instead of using the character mode version...try exporting your display and running the GUI version.
You can hit them all at once !

I use the GUI when I'm loading bunches of custom patches....done in one sweep.

Dan,

swinstall -x match_target=true -s depotpath \*

it selects accordingly. I does all the time.
for installing many patch bundles. I hate GUI interface. GUI is only windows users not for unix admins

Thanks Rita,

I am familiar w/ this method of selecting all patches, but I'm coordinating patching outages w/ resources offshore, so the X11 traffic tends to bog them down...

I thought I remember how to select all products w/ the text version by a certain sequence of key strokes...oh well, maybe I'm going crazy -- :-)

Dan,

Try doing F2 then / on the main keyboard. I am using an HP terminal emulator. At the top of the swinstall screen it says to "Press CTRL-K for Keyboard help." Then look at the Keyboard Reference Guide.

Thanks Marlou!

That's exactly what I was looking for.

For me, using putty, it's F1 then /...

thanks again,
Dan
