swinstall.autoreboot=false NO impact
in /var/adm/sw/defaults, because i would like to contral the reboot time.
Unfortunately the system rebooted immediatly after the software installation finished sucessfull.
Any hints about to get the expected behaviour.
Thanks,
Herbert

Re: swinstall.autoreboot=false NO impact
Also what was the commandline that you used?

Re: swinstall.autoreboot=false NO impact
swinstall ... -x autoreboot=false ... PHKL_1234
or just trusted whatever is in the /var/adm/sw/defaults file is going to protect you from an unwanted reboot ?
if you have used the interactive gui/tui, have you checked under the options menu, if autoreboot option was unchecked ?
If you have just trusted the entry in the defaults file, only thing I can say, you should not have. But if everything is checked fine before the patch install and after all this it reboot, then I am stumped as well.
UNIX because I majored in cryptology...

Re: swinstall.autoreboot=false NO impact
If you don't specifiy it on the command line (-x) or via GUI options, reboot will occur.

Re: swinstall.autoreboot=false NO impact
If you use this option on the swinstall command line it will prevent any software installation that needs a reboot. However if you do the installation using a GUI / user interface you are propted if you will accept a reboot and that should be enough to say that the system will reboot even if the setting is set to false (no reboot). You did accept the reboot "Yes" when prompted, didn't you?.
Looks at the swinstall man pages for more help on this option with swinstall command.
Hope this helps.

Re: swinstall.autoreboot=false NO impact
In the file /var/adm/sw/defaults was:
either
swinstall.autoreboot=false
or
no entries
or
# swinstal.autoreboot=true
I'm installating HWE1100 and QPK1100
March 2003 with the "GUI option" Manage Patch Selection.
I expect the local software install should finish the installation and expect a confirmation before it reboots.
Unfortunately the system didn't wait for a confirmation, it simply completes the installation and reboots.

Re: swinstall.autoreboot=false NO impact
Remote system has it's own defaults, I presume.
I think moving to the command line mode WILL block on remote systems as well.
Use "view /usr/lib/sw/sys.defaults" to read more about it.
