13.7. Removing SavaPage

SavaPage can be completely removed from a system with the following procedure:

  • Remove all files from the /opt/savapage install directory.

  • Remove the savapage system account.

  • Remove the savapage binary from the CUPS notifier directory.

  • For systemd installations:

    • Remove the savapage.service file in the systemd unit library. Depending on the distribution the unit will either be found in the /lib/systemd/system or /usr/lib/systemd/system directory.

    • Remove the custom /etc/systemd/system/cups.services file.

  • For SysV style installations remove any matching start script:

    /etc/init.d/savapage
/etc/rc*.d/*savapage

Note

Removing SavaPage can also be done by executing the uninstall program like this:

cd /opt/savapage
sudo ./uninstall

The installation will be reverted including the CUPS notifier installation and the server’s systemd or SysV service scripts.

As a final action the savapage system account and the /opt/savapage install directory should be removed manually.

sudo rm -rf /opt/savapage/
sudo userdel savapage
