RMSW(8)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 RMSW(8)



NAME
     rmsw - remove a software package from hard disk.

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rmsw [ -s ][ -d ][ -t ][ -f filename ] package_name

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

     When a package_name is entered, rmsw makes a backup on files
     listed in the corresponding Bill of Materials (BOM) file
     within the /usr/lib/bom/package_name 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.

     -d  Specifies floppy disk (/dev/rdf) backup media (default
         is streaming cartridge tape).

     -t  Specifies 9-track tape (/dev/rmt) backup media (default
         is streaming cartridge tape).

     -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.

     package_name
         Package name can be any software package which has a BOM
         (Bill Of Material) file in the /usr/lib/bom/package_name
         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 -d 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)
