swmtool(1M)

NAME

     swmtool - install, upgrade, and remove software packages

SYNOPSIS

     swmtool [ -d directory]

DESCRIPTION

     The  swmtool command invokes the  admintool(1M) application,
     which  is  preselected  to add or remove software. Using the
     swmtool command, you can add software from a product  CD  or
     hard  disk   to  an  installed  system,  or  you  can remove
     software from an installed system.

     Once logged in, you may run swmtool to examine the  packages
     on your local system.

     Membership in the sysadmin group (gid 14) is  used  to  res-
     trict  access to administrative tasks. Members of the sysad-
     min group can use swmtool to add or  remove  software  pack-
     ages. Non-members have read-only permissions (where applica-
     ble).
