Uninstalling eG Enterprise

The process of uninstalling eG Enterprise varies depending on the operating system used. The steps to be executed to uninstall eG Enterprise are as follows:

  1. First stop the execution of the manager using the command:

    /opt/egurkha/bin/stop_manager

  2. Next, stop the execution of the agent using the command:

    /opt/egurkha/bin/stop_agent

  3. Next, on Solaris, use the pkgrm command to uninstall the eGmanager and eGagent packages.
  4. On Linux and AIX, the /opt/egurkha directory has to be manually removed to uninstall the eG Enterprise system.

  5. On HP-UX, uninstall the eG agent following the steps given below:

    • The eG agent can be uninstalled only by a super-user. Therefore, login as the super-user and run the command sam.

    • Now, press the Enter key on the keyboard. A screen depicted by Figure 1 below appears next.

    • Using the next screen (see Figure 2), choose to remove the eG agent software executing on the local host, by selecting the Remove Local Host Software option. To select this option, use the down-arrow key until the option is reached, and then press the Enter key.
