RMSW(8)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 RMSW(8)



NAME
     rmsw - remove a software package from hard disk.

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rmsw [ -s ][ -t ][ -f filename ] product_name

DESCRIPTION
     Rmsw allows users to make a backup of a specified package
     and remove it from hard disk.

     When a product_name is entered, rmsw makes a backup on files
     listed in the corresponding Bill of Materials (BOM) file
     within the /usr/lib/bom directory before de-installation.

     Rmsw places an INSTALL shell script automatically onto a
     backup media for the purpose of re-installation (see
     sysadmin(8)).

OPTIONS
     -s  Specifies streaming cartridge tape (/dev/tc) backup
         media (default is floppy disk).  -t Specifies 9-track
         tape (/dev/rmt) backup media (default is floppy disk).

     -f filename
         Specifies that the output will be put into filename. The
         filename can refer to a floppy disk, cartridge tape or
         any other device and file.

     product_name
         Product name can be any software package which has a BOM
         (Bill Of Material) file in the /usr/lib/bom directory
         with the exception of the core package. For example,
         acceptable values can be pascal, fortran or man. Only
         one software package can be removed at one time.

EXAMPLES
     /etc/rmsw man
          (backup on-line manuals to floppy disks and delete it
          from hard disk)

     /etc/rmsw -s pascal
          (backup pascal language package to a cartridge tape and
          delete it from hard disk)

     /etc/rmsw -f //host/dev/tc f77
          (backup fortran language to a cartridge tape on a
          remote host and delete it from hard disk)

FILES
     /dev/rdf                 default target device (floppy disk)

     /usr/lib/bom/INSTALL.DIST
