Can I 'rm' the /opt/networker directory?

[Don Spare]

I have an /opt filesystem of size 512Mb that is just at 90% full. Upon investigation I found that I have a /opt/networker directory that is using 56586 KB of space. I don't have Legato installed (I'm using ARCserve). I saw no reference to Legato or Networker in the installed software listing.

May I assume that it is okay to delete this directory and its contents? Or would it be wiser to just try to compress the whole thing to see is something screams?

If you're not using it, sure, but just check swlist output to make sure it wasn't installed via Software Distributor. You wouln't want to mess up your SD database. If you do see it, and I don't think you will, use swremove. Otherwise, use rm -rf.

Don't delete it just yet. Take a look at this thread on how to deal with it in a proper way.

Hi,
Also check if there is any other directorys ( in /var or /etc ) related to Networker . And, startup/shutdown scripts in /etc/rc.config.d .

[William Harris_3]

you can try an ls -lu in the directory to see when the last time files were accessed. (info: a backup will log as an access time)

This may be installed after your Oracle installation.If you don't have/use Legato then you can just erase this directory.
But before that ,

Networker must be running a porcess stop it by
/opt/networker/bin/nsr_shutdown.
also remove /sbin/init.d/networker
file and unlink /sbin/rc2.d/S900networker file.

Good luck,
