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 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.

EXAMPLES
     /etc/rmsw c
          (backup c language package 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)
