softwareupdate -- system software update tool SYNOPSIS
softwareupdate command [args ...] DESCRIPTION
Software Update checks for new and updated versions of your software based on information about your computer and current software. Invoke softwareupdate by specifying a command followed by zero or more args. softwareupdate requires admin authentication for all commands except --list. If you run softwareupdate as a normal admin user, you will be prompted for a password where required. Alternatively, you can run softwareupdate as root and avoid all further authentication prompts. The following commands are available: -l | --list List all available updates. -i | --install Each update specified by args is downloaded and installed. args can be one of the following: -r | --recommended All updates that are recommended for your system. These are prefixed with a * character in the --list output. -a | --all All updates that are applicable to your system, including those non-recommended ones, which are prefixed with a - character in the --list output. (Non-recommended updates are uncommon in any case.) item ... One or more specified updates. The --list output shows the item names you can specify here, prefixed by the * or - characters. See EXAMPLES. -d | --download Each update specified by args is downloaded but not installed. The values of args are the same as for the --install command. Updates downloaded with --download can be subsequently installed with --install, or through the App Store (as long as they remain applicable to your system). Updates are downloaded to /Library/Updates, but are not designed to be installed by double-clicking the packages in that directory: always use --install or the App Store to actually perform the install. --ignore identifier ... Manages the per-machine list of ignored updates. The identifier is the first part of the item name (before the dash and version number) that is shown by --list. See EXAMPLES. --reset-ignored Clears the per-machine list of ignored updates. --schedule on | off Manages the per-machine automatic (background) check preference. -h | --help Print command usage.

update-ux(1M) update-ux(1M) NAME
update-ux - updates the HP-UX operating system from new HP-UX media SYNOPSIS
option=value] software_file] [[sw_selections]...] DESCRIPTION
The command updates the HP-UX operating system to a newer version. Use when updating the operating system (OS), and installing or changing operating environments (OEs). works only with source depots con- taining the OS and OEs such as HP-UX 11i OE DVDs. When using other non-OE media as the source (such as AR), use swinstall(1M) instead. will always attempt to update the OS. In order to update a system successfully, an Operating Environment must exist in the source. A bun- dle name does not need to be specified on the command line. By default, update-ux will install the software from the source that matches and updates the software that is installed on the system. However, if a system does not contain a previous version of an OE, one must be specified on the command line or in the interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI). If the current OS is 11.11 or 11.22 , first install onto the existing system. For example: source_location where source_location is the path to a depot containing the 11i Update-UX product. Options supports these options: Perform the OE update in the interactive terminal user interface (TUI). For more information, see the swm(1M) manpage. Previews an update task by running the session through the analysis phase only. Turns on verbose output to stdout. (The logfile is not affected by this option). Specify the source location. Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted DVD containing an SD depot, or a remote machine and depot combination. If source_location is a DVD, expects to install from one DVD. If source_location is a remote machine and depot combination, the remote machine should be specified first, followed by the absolute path to the remote depot, separated by a colon with no spaces; for example: Print the usage statement. Set swm(1M) options. Read the list of sw_selections from software_file instead of (or in addition to) the command line. sw_selections Software selections support the same syntax as the SD commands plus the syntax outlined in below (see swin- stall(1M) for details on SD's supported syntax). Software Selections In addition to the SD syntax, the following syntax is supported for pattern-matching-expression Where version can be: Where op can be: or The (equals) relational operator lets you specify selections with the shell wildcard and pattern-matching-expressions: The syntax causes that selection to be deselected even if it was listed on the command line as part of other selections. RETURN VALUE
The command returns a value when it is not successful: Error during execution; update aborted. DIAGNOSTICS
Standard Output: An session writes messages for significant events, including: o Begin-session and end-session messages. o Major task messages. Logging: Errors are recorded in: and EXAMPLES
To update from the OE depot on an HP-UX 11i OE DVD mounted at enter: The example above updates the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (OE). To install all bundles and products in sw_server that match and update software that is installed on the system: Which is equivalent to: The syntax selects all software in the source that matches what is already installed on the system. To select only software in HPUX11i-OE that matches the software on the target system: The syntax selects only software in the specified bundle that matches what is already installed on the system. To update to HPUX11i-OE and include the HP-UX Bastille Security Configuration bundle: To interactively select software for an update, use the option: To update the operating environment (OE), explicitly to the MCOE: To update all the software that is part of the OE except Mozilla: To select all of HPUX11i-OE except for Perl, which is part of HPUX11i-OE, you could specify the following: The only exception to this is if the selection is in the Operating Environment's required contents list, in which case it cannot be deselected without deselecting all of the Operating Environment. Note that deselections have precedence over selections. Thus the order is not important. The example above would be the same as the following command: AUTHOR
