To Monitor the Progress of a Silent Uninstallation

1. In a terminal window, navigate to the log file directory:

   Solaris OS: /var/sadm/install/logsLinux and HP-UX: /var/opt/sun/install/logs

2. Locate the log files for the current uninstallation. The log file of interest for monitoring purposes is:

   Java_Enterprise_System_5_uninstall.Btimestamp

   The timestamp variable represents the time the log was created. The variable has the following format MMddhhmm, where:

   MM

   Specifies the month

   dd

   Specifies the date

   hh

   Specifies the hour

   mm

   Specifies the minute

3. Use the tail command to watch messages as they are written to the logs. For example:

   tail -f logfile_name

   To exit the tail program, press Ctrl+C.
