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 language
compiler package or manual pages 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 be 9 track tape, floppy disk, cartridge
tape or any other device and file. A remote device can
be used (DFS access) if the access file on the remote
machine has been set up correctly (see access(5n)).
product_name
The name of the software product to be removed. The
acceptable values are c, pascal, fortran, f77, manual,
and man. Only one software package can be removed at one
time.
