NAME
nisrm — remove NIS+ objects from the namespace
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:
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.
AUTHOR
nisrm
was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
NOTES
This command will not remove directories (see
nisrmdir(1))
nor will it remove non-empty tables (see
nistbladm(1)).
