swac1 error when installing patch

[chad_c]

Hi. We are attempting to install a patch to fix the Daylight Saving Time issue on our HPUX 11.11 box. However we get the following message:

rinnm3# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s /patches/P>

Can anyone shed some light on this message?

REgards,

You need to be the root user (UID=0) in order to install patches.

Try restarting the swagentd.

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start
