msguninstall — uninstall Messaging Server from a host system

Synopsis

/opt/lsb-caldera.com-volution/msg/bin/msguninstall 

Description

The msguninstall utility is an interactive Perl script that removes the Caldera Volution Messaging Server from a host system. Only the Messaging Server admin user can use the msguninstall tool.

The msguninstall tool performs these actions:

  1. Stops the Postfix Mail Transport Agent and the Cyrus IMAP server.

  2. Undoes installation configuration changes to the /etc/rc.d/init.d/cyrus and /etc/pam_ldap/auth_ldap.conf files.

  3. Removes RPM packages installed by Messaging Server, including maintenance supplements.

  4. If desired, cleans out the LDAP directory.

The removal script does not:

  • downgrade to an earlier Messaging Server version; it removes the entire product.

  • reinstall components that were removed at Messaging Server installation; for example, sendmail™ and imap™.

  • restore updated RPMs to the earlier version.

  • remove configuration directories that you populated or that contain files backed up by Messaging Server.

  • remove configuration information from mail clients.

If the removal script fails for any reason, the removal might not be complete and the msguninstall utility might now longer be available. In this case, you must run the uninstall.sh script that is available on the Messaging Server distribution media.
