How can swremove a bunch

[Jun Zhang_4]

I can do
swremove -d cc pascal @ /path
but I have a lot more beside cc and pascal to be removed, and specify them all on the command line will be inconvenient. Is there an input list supplied to swremove to do the work?

What about just invoking the swremove TUI or GUI? That would allow you to select multiple packages for removal without having to type everything on the command line.

If you don't want to use the GUI(which I would do)

make a list of software, one per line.

Lets say its a file called remove.list

while -r xx
do
swremove $xx
done < remove.list
