uninstall

The uninstall utility removes SIMS and other related files and packages from your system. You can specify uninstall to perform a standard or dramatic procedure.

---

Note - uninstall may not remove certain packages that are likely to have been installed by a separate application and may be used by that application. This is the case even if SIMS has installed that package upon setup.

---

sendmail is restored by the SIMS uninstall utility but it is not started. In order to start sendmail, the user must either reboot the system or manually start the sendmail program.

Web server packages are removed by uninstall, but httpd is not stopped.

Syntax

uninstall [-c sims] [-d sims]

The options for this command are:

-c sims

Specifies a standard uninstall of SIMS and related files and packages. The standard uninstall does not remove the directory or the message store. Only the binaries are removed.

-d sims

Specifies a dramatic uninstall of SIMS and related files and packages. This option removes data and configuration files left over from the standard uninstall. The dramatic uninstall option is a clean uninstall, removing all files installed by the SIMS installation process and created by SIMS during operation, with the exception of packages that may have already been present before the uninstall procedure.

Examples

The following command performs a standard uninstall:

% uninstall -c sims

The following command performs a dramatic uninstall:

% uninstall -d sims
