nisrm

nisrm(1)							   User Commands							  nisrm(1)

NAME

       nisrm - remove NIS+ objects from the namespace

SYNOPSIS

       nisrm [-if] name...

DESCRIPTION

       The nisrm command removes NIS+ objects named name from the  NIS+ namespace.

       This command will fail if the NIS+ master server is not running.

       This command will not remove directories. See nisrmdir(1). Nor will it remove non-empty tables. See nistbladm(1).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -i	Interactive  mode.  Like the system  rm(1) command the nisrm command will ask for confirmation prior to removing an object. If the
		name specified by name is a non-fully qualified name this option is forced on. This prevents the removal of unexpected objects.

       -f	Force. The removal is attempted, and if it fails for permission reasons, a  nischmod(1) is attempted and the removal retried.	If
		the command fails, it fails silently.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       name	A NIS+ named object.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using the nisrm Command

       Remove the objects  foo, bar, and baz from the namespace:

       example% nisrm foo bar baz

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       NIS_PATH 		       If  this  variable  is  set,  and  the  NIS+  name is not fully qualified, each directory specified will be
				       searched until the object is found. See nisdefaults(1).

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful operation.

       1	Operation failed.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

NOTES

       NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration from  NIS+  to  LDAP  are
       available in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
