HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1 User Commands N-Z (vol 2)

nisrm(1) 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.

Options

-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, an nischmod(1) is attempted

and the removal retried. If the command fails, it fails silently.

EXAMPLES

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

nisrm foo bar baz

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

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)).

RETURN VALUE

nisrm returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.

WARNINGS

HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the last HP-UX release on which NIS+ is supported.

LDAP is the recommended replacement for NIS+. HP fully supports the industry standard naming ser-

vices based on LDAP.
