Uninstalling the Universal Package

Top  Previous  Next

Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers that was installed from the universal package for UNIX systems can be uninstalled via the command line (if you are using a graphical desktop environment, you will need a terminal emulator for this option).

Note that the uninstallation tool uninstalls not only Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers, but also all the other Dr.Web products installed on your computer.

If any other Dr.Web products are installed on your computer, besides Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers, then, to delete only Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers, use the custom components installation/removal procedure, instead of running the automatic removal tool.

Uninstalling the Product via the Command Line

The uninstallation tool is started by the uninst.sh script, which is located in the <opt_dir>/bin directory (in GNU/Linux this is /opt/drweb.com/bin). Uninstallation procedure of Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers is described in section Uninstalling from the Command Line.

You can also start the uninstallation tool in silent mode by executing the command

# env DRWEB_NON_INTERACTIVE=yes /opt/drweb.com/bin/uninst.sh

In this case, the uninstallation tool is run in silent mode and operates without the user interface (including program dialogs for command-line mode). Note that root privileges are required to start the uninstallation tool in silent mode. To elevate the privileges, you can use the su and sudo commands.
