POSIX logs the package installation in the logging file /var/sadm/pkg/instlog.
An entry containing the following information is written for each process:
- Flag for installation or deletion (in the 1st column: I (install) or D (delete))
- Name and version of the product
- Date and time of the installation or deletion
- Name of the package (optional)
- Installation path
Example
I JENV.050 Wed Sep 19 13:15:46 2007 ... I BCAM.190 Mon Jun 9 11:35:10 2008 ... I NFS.030 Thu Nov 20 12:23:41 2008 ... I POSIX-BC.070 Tue Jan 27 11:33:27 2009 ... I POSIX-SH.070 Tue Jan 27 11:35:13 2009 ... I POSIX-SOCKETS.070 Tue Jan 27 12:53:51 2009 ... I POSIX-NSL.070 Tue Jan 27 12:58:30 2009 ...
Information on the packages installed can be output using the shell command pkginfo.
If errors occur during installation in batch mode, these are logged in the /var/sadm/pkg/insterr file (see “START-POSIX-INSTALLATION").
Information on installed POSIX packages (pkginfo)
The pkginfo command shows information on software packages which are installed in POSIX. A software package installed in POSIX is defined by:
Name of the software product
Package from the software product (optional)
Version of the software product
Path where the software product is installed (default: /)
BS2000 library (SINLIB) from which the software product was installed
Date of the (last) installation
This command is also available to every nonprivileged POSIX user.
