how to remove the installed software

Hi

I am new to HP-UX.

I have installed a software "cfg2html-4.3..depot"

Ex:

lndsll03:/homeroot/cfg2html/9-4-2009->swlist -l product | grep -i cfg2html
cfg2html C.04.22.20090128 cfg2html


Now i want to remove this.

what is the correct command with syntax.

Re: how to remove the installed software

unset DISPLAY
swremove

then scroll through the software selection, find and highlight the software to remove and from the top menu (accessible by tab key), select Actions then remove selection.

there is a way to do it from the command line but since you said you are a newbie, this is a safer and easier way to do.

Hope this helps

or just issure swremove. It will open interactive session. select the the product you want to remove, then goto actions select mark for uninstall and remove it.

#swremove -> for interactive remove

You can also just use swremove to bring up the interactive tool, then search through the list to find the software you wish to remove. Handy when you want to remove multiple packages.

Hi Senthil,

For UI interface:
# swremove

Easiest will be using UI interface.
Use swremove and search that software, select it by pressing , and as mentioned go to Action tab and select remove.

Sorry, that didn't come out too clearly. I meant to say just use "swremove" without specifying anything further.

Hi:

You _REALLY_ should do yourself a favor and spend some time reading. As pointed out in one of your earlier threads on the subject of the SD tools, I urge you to look at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-5875/index.html

The above begins with terminolory and concepts.

Regards!

Re: how to remove the installed software

You could use the interactive way via

# swremove -i cfg2html

Choose the software, go to action tab and remove.
