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 restrict access to administrative tasks. Members of the sysadmin group can use swmtool to add or remove software packages. Non-members have read-only permissions (where applicable).
