Purpose
Removes NIS+ objects from the
namespace.
Syntax
nisrm [ -i ] [ -f ] Obj_name...
Description
The nisrm command removes
NIS+ objects from the NIS+ namespace.
The nisrm command fails if the NIS+ master server is
not running.
Notes: nisrm does not remove directories
(see the nisrmdir command) nor non-empty tables (see the nistbladm command).

Description |

| -i |
Sets the nisrm command in interactive mode. With the -i flag
the nisrm command asks for confirmation before removing the
specified object. If the object's name is not fully qualified then
the -i flag is forced, preventing the unintended removal of
another object. |
| -f |
Sets the nisrm command in force mode. If nisrm fails
because you do not have the necessary permissions, nischmod is
invoked and the removal is attempted again. If nisrm fails,
it does not return an error message. |
Examples
- To remove the objects xyz, abc, and def from
the namespace, enter:
Environment
| Item |
Description |
|---|
| NIS_PATH |
With this variable set, if the NIS+ object name is
not fully qualified, nisrm searches each directory indicated
until the object is found. |
