To Monitor the Progress of a Silent Uninstallation

Steps

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

   On Solaris OS: /var/sadm/install/logsOn Linux: /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_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.
