Removing Unwanted Applications

SEAS products can be uninstalled using one of the following:

• The Product Registry. See "Uninstalling Using the Product Registry" for more information.

• The jre command. See"Uninstalling Using the jre Command" for more information.

• The pkgrm command. "Uninstalling Using the pkgrm Command" for more information.

Uninstalling Using the Product Registry

Use the Solaris Product Registry to uninstall applications you no longer need or use to free necessary disk space. See "Uninstalling Products From the Registry" for step-by-step instructions. You find the name of the uninstaller program in the right panel of the Product Registry after selecting the application to be removed in the left panel.

Uninstalling Using the jre Command

To remove a SEAS application using the jre command, you can run the uninstaller from the application.

For example, to remove Solstice DiskSuite, you would type the following command at the superuser system prompt:

jre --cp /var/sadm/prod/com.sun.DiskSuite/607900099 uninstall_DiskSuite_4.2.class

Uninstalling Using the pkgrm Command

You must be logged in as root and you must know the name of the packages that make up the application. For example, to remove Sun Directory Services, which consists of the packages SUNWlicsw, SUNWlit, SUNWsds, and SUNWsdsc, using the pkgrm command, you would type the following command:

pkgrm SUNWlicsw SUNWlit SUNWsds SUNWsdsc

To find the name of the application packages, use the command pkginfo | grep application_name. Then use the pkgrm command as indicated above.
