Hi Samar, check pkg-get for a list of commands: :~# /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get pkg-get, by Philip Brown , phil at bolthole.com (Internal SCCS code revision @(#) pkg-get 4.11@(#)) Originally from http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/pkg-get.html pkg-get is used to install free software packages pkg-get Need one of 'install', 'upgrade', 'available','compare' '-i|install' installs a package '-u|upgrade' upgrades already installed packages if possible '-a|available' lists the available packages in the catalog '-c|compare' shows installed package versions vs available '-l|list' shows installed packages by software name only '-e' email provided single email address if updates needed (-e is incompatible with -c) Optional modifiers: '-d|download' just download the package, not install '-D|describe' describe available packages, or search for one '-U|updatecatalog' updates download site inventory '-S|sync' Makes update mode sync to version on mirror site '-v' Debug/verbose mode (-d and -D were taken!) Will report how many bytes would be downloaded '-f' dont ask any questions: force default pkgadd behaviour Normally used with an override admin file See /var/pkg-get/admin-fullauto '-s ftp://site/dir' temporarily override site to get from it doesn't actually say from the list but it should be: /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -r {pkg name} Then you can start again from Blastwave.
