Uninstalling Linux agents manually

You can manually uninstall Linux agents.

To uninstall Linux agents manually

1In the management console, set the policy for the agent to uninstall to the Null prevention policy.

If the Linux agent is not communicating with the management console, disable the agent, and then continue with the uninstall.

See “Disabling and enabling Linux agents” on page 93.

2Open a Terminal window on the computer that runs the agent to uninstall, and become superuser.

3Run the following command to determine the agent process ID: cat /var/run/sisipsdaemon.pid

cat /var/run/sisipsutildaemon.pid cat /var/run/sisidsdaemon.pid

4(Optional) If the process IDs do not appear, do the following to display the process IDs and stop the agent processes:

Run the following command:

pgrep -U sisips -P1 -f sisipsdaemon pgrep -U sisips -P1 -f sisipsutildaemon

pgrep -U root -P1 -f sisidsdaemon

If the agent process is not running, continue with the next numbered step. If either agent process is running, run the following command to stop the agent process:

kill -KILL <agent_PID>

5Type and run the following commands to remove the installation files: rm -rf /opt/Symantec/scspagent (your installation directory)

rmdir /opt/Symantec rm -rf /etc/sisips

rm -f /etc/sisips.conf rm -f /etc/init.d/sisi?s*

rm -f /etc/init.d/rc?.d/*sisi?s* rm -rf /etc/symantec/sis

rm -rf /var/log/scsplog

6Type and run the following commands to remove the agent user and group: userdel sisips

groupdel sisips
