swremove invoked by ksh script

Fabreg — Thu, 22 May 2008 12:47:03 GMT

Hi guys.
I have to do a script that invoke swremove command.
I need to run it without any question or any other feature of swremove (like open a dedicate window when it runs etc. etc.)
If I don't remember bad, the syntax was:

swremove -i

where depot_name is the software viewed with swlit

Is this right?

Many thanks.
Best Regards.
Fabrizio

You are not dealing with depots while uninstalling normally.

# /usr/sbin/swremove

If needed, add the autoreboot=true option.

You can use it without -i (this is an interactive option):

#swremove software @ host
or
#swremove software

Hi:

If you don't remember the syntax, why not consult the manpages?

# man swremove

(or):

http://docs.hp.com/en/hpuxman_pages.html

Shalom Fabrizio,

swremove -i

-i means interactive.

This dog isn't going to hunt (I miss that phrase).

Your script can swremove depots with the right additional parameters. The concept of script based software removal and a script are mutually exclusive ways to handle the software removal.
