remove software

[Dusan Stefanovic]

I install COBOL on HP-UX v11.23(Integrity).
I couldn't install with swinstall command (SD-UX). So I mount CD and start script
#sh ./setup.sh
Installation finished without problem. COBOL work's fine.
Now I want to uninstall COBOL.I can't see COBOL installation files with swlist (SD-UX)commands.
I install COBOL in /opt/microfocus directory.
Is there some other way to uninstall programs.

Hi Dusan,

I you can't see it with swlist then you can't remove it with swremove

The only solution to remove it is

rm -r /opt/microfocus

Dont you have any options for Uninstalling COBOL with the setup.sh or similar scripts in the CD. Just check that out. Otherwise, you can just delete /opt/microfocus

Is that cobol binary is available in /opt/microfocus? Can you check swlist as,

# swlist -l file | grep -i 'cobol'

If it is not returning anything then remove /opt/microfocus directory manually.

Hi Dusan,
it is only use swremove if you installed
something with swinstall so as others mentioned just rm -r /opt/microfocus

Good Luck,

If there's no optiond for uninstalling (with the setup program), then you will have to manually do so - look at the setup.sh file - see if it reads a file which determines the location of all files - then you could write a script to remove those files...

Unless the setup.sh does a swinstall, you will never see the software in a swlist...
