How can I improve this uninstall script? SOLVED

[oldyeller]

Hello Everyone,

I have this uninstall script and I would like to improve on it.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

Xdialog -title="Uninstalling" --yesno "Do you really want to Remove Believe?" 0 0
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  rm -f /usr/local/bin/Believe
  rm -r /usr/local/Manna/Believe
  rm -f /usr/local/bin/rmBelieve
fi

What I would like to do is be able to remove this entry in fluxbox menu;

Code: Select all

[exec] (Believe) {Believe}

The menu is customize. Just not sure on how to code it. If this can't be done by the script. Than have it open the menu.base for manual editing.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Maybe?

Code: Select all

sed -i '/Believe/d' /menu/file

Maybe?

Code: Select all

sed -i '/Believe/d' /menu/file

Will give it a try.

I did figure out how to have the script open a window that states were to delete the line in the menu.base and than open up the menu.base.

This is the code that I added and I figured out how to do my first Xdialog I will have to finish this I am on the wrong puppy


EDIT:: Now I am on the right puppy

Code: Select all

Xdialog -title="Deleting" --msgbox "Delete line 44 in menu.base, after deleting hit refresh in the menu under settings-fluxbox" 0 0

exec geany /root/.fluxbox/menu.base

Maybe?

Code: Select all

sed -i '/Believe/d' /menu/file

This did not work.

Code: Select all

sed -i '/Believe/d' $HOME/.fluxbox/menu.base

should delete every line containing Believe in /root/.fluxbox/menu.base

[oldyeller]

Code: Select all

sed -i '/Believe/d' $HOME/.fluxbox/menu.base

should delete every line containing Believe in /root/.fluxbox/menu.base

This did the trick

Thanks L18L

sed -i '/Believe/d' /menu/file

This did not work.

As L18L points out make sure it points to where ever the fluxbox menu file is located, the -i flag is edit in place.

could also use:

Code: Select all

grep -v  'Believe' /menu/file > /tmp/menu/file
rm -f /menu/file && mv -f /tmp/menu/file /menu/file

grep none matching string lines and send to new /tmp/menu/file - remove old /menu/file and move new /tmp/menu/file to its place.
