rmpack

rmpack remove packs. rmpack rmpack recursively remove all the files inside a pack and the pack directory itself. If the directory of executables bin is a symbolic link outside the pack the true directory is removed as well ; if an alias has been created in the Shell rc file, then this alias will be removed as well : that is why it is better to use this command than rm -f.
By default rmpack asks for confirmation before removing a pack. To suppress this confirmation request one should use the option -f. Example :
% rmpack 31t1_opt.04.PGI616.x
rmpack: pack 31t1_opt.04.PGI616.x. Remove(y/n)?
% y
removing pack 31t1_opt.04.PGI616.x
% rmpack -f toto titi
removing pack toto
removing pack titi
