The script can be called in the following ways:
postrm remove

postrm purge
After the package was purged.
old-postrm upgrade new-version
After the package was upgraded.
new-postrm failed-upgrade old-version new-version
If the above upgrade call fails.
postrm disappear overwriter-package overwriter-version
After all of the packages files have been replaced.
new-postrm abort-install

DH_INSTALLMODULES(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLMODULES(1)NAME
dh_installmodules - register kernel modules
SYNOPSIS
dh_installmodules [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--name=name]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering kernel modules.
Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if found, preinst, postinst and postrm commands are automatically
generated to run depmod and register the modules when the package is installed. These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by
dh_installdeb(1).
FILES
debian/package.modprobe
Installed to etc/modprobe.d/package.conf in the package build directory.
OPTIONS -n, --no-scripts
Do not modify preinst/postinst/postrm scripts.
--name=name
When this parameter is used, dh_installmodules looks for and installs files named debian/package.name.modprobe instead of the usual
debian/package.modprobe
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
SEE ALSO debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.

malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
