Full Discussion: Remove unwanted packages
Operating Systems Solaris Remove unwanted packages Post 302322412 by TonyFullerMalv on Wednesday 3rd of June 2009 04:19:44 PM

Something like the following might do the trick:

Code:
for PKGSTR in `pkginfo | egrep "gnome|staroffice|jde"; do
  echo PKGSTR = ${PKGSTR}
  PKGNAME=`echo ${PKGSTR} | awk '{ print $1 }'`
  echo PKGNAME = ${PKGNAME}
  pkgrm -n ${PKGNAME}
done

I strongly suggest you run the above with the pkgrm line hashed out or not present and confirm the package list is what you want to remove, I am also doing this from memory as I do not have a Solaris system to hand (must get round to building one at home in VirtualBox at least!), i have assume that the pkginfo output starts with the package's name. pkgrm -n runs it in non-interactive mode, you can create and specify your own admin file to cause pkgrm to remove packages no matter what (break dependencies, etc) non-interactively, you may want to do this as it can be a real pain trying to determine the correct order to remove all the packages for a particular susb-system when you know you simply want to remove all of them! I have also taken a guess with "jde" being mentioned for the Java Desktop Environment so you may need to adjust that, you will need to be careful you do not remove Java (JRE or JDK) itself unless that is to be removed also...

clu_is_member

clu_is_member(3)					     Library Functions Manual						  clu_is_member(3)

NAME

       clu_is_member,  clu_is_ready - Determine whether the local system is currently a cluster member or has been configured to be a cluster mem-
       ber

LIBRARY

       Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/clu.h>

       boolean_t clu_is_member ();

       boolean_t clu_is_ready ();

DESCRIPTION

       The clu_is_member function determines whether the local system is currently a cluster member (that is, the TruCluster Server  software  has
       been  installed	and  configured, the system has booted a clusterized kernel, and the connection manager has allowed the system to join the
       cluster membership).

       The clu_is_ready function determines whether the local system has been configured to run in a cluster (that is, the TruCluster Server soft-
       ware  has been installed and configured, and the system has booted a clusterized kernel).  The clu_is_ready function is most useful to code
       that runs in the boot path before the connection manager establishes the cluster membership.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon completion, the clu_is_member  function returns TRUE if the local system is currently a cluster member, FALSE otherwise.

       Upon completion, the clu_is_ready  function returns TRUE if the local system has booted from a clusterized kernel, FALSE otherwise.
