cleanup(1M) cleanup(1M) NAME
cleanup - HP-UX patch cleanup utility SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The command provides functions useful when dealing with HP-UX patches on HP-UX. The command logs all information to Options recognizes the following options: Preview the task but do not actually perform the requested action. Notify the user of tasks and request confirmation before performing the requested action. Commit patches superseded at least number times. This option is a front-end to the option of (see swmodify(1M)) that provides an easier interface to commit multiple patches at once. Remove patches in the specified software depot that have been superseded by patches also available from the depot. Specifies whether the software depot contains patches for HP-UX 10.X or 11.X releases. This option is only valid with the option. If the option is not specified, it defaults to HP-UX 11.X patches. Specifies whether patches in the software depot that contain a corequisite or prerequisite attribute specifying one of the superseded patches as a dependency should also be removed. This option is valid only with the option. If the option is not specified, it defaults to true. Remove HP-UX 10.X patches that remain in the Installed Product Database after an upgrade to HP-UX 11.X. These patches are removed from the IPD so that they are no longer displayed in the output of the command (see swlist(1M)). The HP-UX 10.X patch files are also removed from Correct the attribute for HP-UX 11.X patches. Recommendations The command should be executed after updating to HP-UX 11.X from HP-UX 10.20. It is not necessary to execute after updating from one ver- sion of HP-UX 11.X software to another because SD-UX will properly remove 11.X patch information from the IPD in these situations. The command should be executed whenever patches are added to a software depot. It is not a requirement that superseded 11.X patches be removed from a software depot, but it is a recommendation to conserve disk space and to avoid confusion. If superseded patches exist in the same depot as patches that supersede them, SD-UX on HP-UX 11.X will handle the situation properly. The command can be executed to commit all patches that have been superseded at least the specified number of times. The only benefit from committing patches is that disk space will be recovered in the The command can be executed to insure that the attribute of all patch filesets is set correctly. There are several known situations where the attribute will be set incorrectly. This command can be run at any time, but will be most useful after a system has been installed using Ignite-UX. AVAILABILITY
This command is standard on HP-UX 11i v3. On 11i v2 it is available in patch PHCO_32220 or a superseding patch. On 11i v1 it is available in patch PHCO_27780 or a superseding patch. WARNINGS
Extreme care should be used when committing patches. Once a patch has been committed, it cannot be removed from the system. Patches should only be committed when you are satisfied with their behavior. Recovering disk space should not be the only factor considered when committing patches. AUTHOR
