rpccp_remove_group

remove group(1m)														  remove group(1m)

NAME

       remove group - Removes all group members and the group from the specified name service entry

SYNOPSIS

       rpccp remove group  group-entry-name [-s syntax]

OPTIONS

       Indicates  the  name  syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default name
       syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary.

ARGUMENTS

       Indicates the name of the target group.	For an entry in the local cell, you can omit the cell name  and  specify  only	the  cell-relative
       name.

DESCRIPTION

       The  remove  group  command  removes  a group from the name service database.  The group need not be empty.  The entry name of the group is
       required.

   Privilege Required
       You need write permission to the CDS object entry (the target group entry).

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLES

       The following commands run RPCCP and remove the group from the name service entry /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group: $  rpccp  rpccp>  remove
       group /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group
