Remove orphaned packages in Solaris ?
Is there any command that removes orphaned packages in Solaris ? Or a program similar to gtkorphan from Debian ?

What exactly do you mean by an "orphaned package" ?
# 3  
Old 04-08-2008
Well, I was thinking of a program that can remove obsolete files (pastremaining files of previous software uninstallations).

like a service that has no dependancies?

as usual, duke is right.

however, the only thing that comes to mind is svcs command.

example:

Code:
bash-3.00$ svcs -l svc:/milestone/single-user:default
fmri         svc:/milestone/single-user:default
name         single-user milestone
enabled      true
state        online
next_state   none
state_time   Mon May 28 01:38:48 2007
logfile      /var/svc/log/milestone-single-user:default.log
restarter    svc:/system/svc/restarter:default
dependency   require_all/none svc:/system/identity:node (online)
dependency   require_all/none svc:/system/filesystem/minimal (online)
dependency   require_all/none svc:/milestone/devices (online)
dependency   require_all/none svc:/system/manifest-import (online)
dependency   require_any/none svc:/network/loopback (online)
dependency   optional_all/none svc:/milestone/network (online)
dependency   optional_all/none svc:/system/metainit (online)
dependency   optional_all/none svc:/system/cryptosvc (online)
dependency   require_all/none svc:/system/sysevent (online)

or

Code:
bash-3.00$ svcs -d svc:/milestone/single-user:default
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         May_28   svc:/network/loopback:default
online         May_28   svc:/milestone/network:default
online         May_28   svc:/system/identity:node
online         May_28   svc:/system/metainit:default
online         May_28   svc:/system/filesystem/minimal:default
online         May_28   svc:/system/sysevent:default
online         May_28   svc:/milestone/devices:default
online         May_28   svc:/system/cryptosvc:default
online         May_28   svc:/system/manifest-import:default
