Removing All Versions of Binary Files

To remove all versions of binary files, do the following:

1. Verify that you have the necessary privilege. You must be included in the admin.bos file on the machine on which the binary files reside. If necessary, issue the bos lsadmin command to check.

2. Enter the bos uninstall command and include its -all option to remove all versions of each specified binary file:

$ bos uninstall -server machine -file binary_file... [-dir alternate_dest] [-all]

The -file binary_file option specifies the name of each binary file to be removed. The current, .BAK, and .OLD versions of each file are removed. All specified files must reside in the same directory, dcelocal/bin or an alternate directory specified with the -dir option. Specify only filenames; the command ignores all but the final component of a pathname.

The -dir alternate_dest option specifies the pathname of the directory in which all specified files reside. Omit this option if the files reside in the default directory, dcelocal/bin; otherwise, provide a full or relative pathname. Relative path names are interpreted relative to the dcelocal directory on -server.

The -all option indicates that all versions (current, .BAK, and .OLD) of each specified file are to be removed.
