A self-installing PIF product is executed as a shell script. The command options specify how to install the PIF product on the target computer or that only a response file is created.
This command has the following format:
sh selfinstallingfile [-t tracefile] [-p logfile] [-r responsefile]
[-s] [-F] [-x] [-a newresponsefile] [-v] [-I instance name] [-V] [-o] [-M textID]
Name of the self-installing PIF product, as defined, for example, through the pifself command.
Traces the installation in the specified trace file.
Logs the installation in the specified log file.
Installs the product using the specified response file.
Installs the product in unattended (silent) mode using default parameter values.
Forces the product installation. Backup errors are ignored.
Only extracts the product to the /tmp directory. The file name used for the extracted product is internally defined and echoed to the command line.
Creates only a response file with the specified name. This response file can be used for a later installation of the PIF product.
Lists the version of the installer included.
Specifies the name of a new product instance (for multi instance installation).
Enforces VT100 dialogs.
Overwrites existing response during response file generation (-a).
Refers to a single text (specified by textID1) or a range of texts (specified by textID1-textID2) in the resource section of the specified PIF product prototype file. Each script of a PIF product can use this command option in order to print localized texts.
Example: Execute a self-installing PIF product and record trace information
The following command executes the self-installing PIF product test-pif.AIX.sh and installs the corresponding PIF product in unattended (silent) mode. Trace information is written to the specified trace file test-pif.AIX_tracef in the mytemp folder:
sh test-pif.AIX.sh -s -t /mytemp/test-pif.AIX_tracef
