A Summary of Commands

pkgadd

The pkgadd command has the following parameters:

Note: When executed without options, pkgadd uses /var/spool/pkg (the default spool directory).

When transferring a package to a spool directory, the -r, -n, and -a options cannot be used.

•-a— Define an installation administration file, admin, to be used in place of the default administration file. The token none overrides the use of any admin file, and thus forces interaction with the user. Unless a full path name is given, pkgadd looks in the /var/sadm/install/admin directory for the file.

•-d— Install or copy a package from device. Device can be a full path name to a directory or the identifiers for tape, floppy disk, or removable disk (for example, /var/tmp or /floppy/floppyname). It can also be a device alias (for example, /floppy/floppy0).

•-n— Installation occurs in noninteractive mode. The default mode is interactive.

Note: The -n option causes the installation to halt if any interaction is needed to complete it.

•pkginst — Specify the package instance or list of instances to be installed. The token all can be used to refer to all packages available on the source medium. The format pkginst.* can be used to indicate all instances of a package.
