Using the swremove GUI
This section provides an overview of the swremove GUI.
• In general, all information presented in “Removing Installed
Software (swremove)” on page 122 also applies to the swinstall GUI.
• This section refers to additional information about standard GUI
elements, discussed in “Using the GUI and TUI Commands” on
page 35.
• All information in this section also applies to the TUI program unless
otherwise noted. See “The Terminal User Interface” on page 35.
The swremove command behaves slightly differently when removing
from primary root file systems, alternate root file systems, and depots.
Interface changes for depot remove operations are summarized in
“Removing Software from Depots” on page 162.
There are three steps in the copy process:
Step I: Start-Up To start the GUI or TUI for an install session, type:
/usr/sbin/swremove
The GUI is automatically invoked unless you also specify software on the
command line. To invoke the GUI and specify software, include the -i
option. For example, to use the GUI for a preview (analysis only) session
with BUNDLE1, type:
swremove -i -p /MyDepot/BUNDLE1
The Software Selection window appears.
