New to Linux here. I installed mailarchiva on ubuntu 19.10 a few days ago, only to discover that Google cannot find any uninstall instructions anywhere for it. In the mailarchiva installation folder, there is one text file called uninstall that says I should run this bash script, but I do not know how to run bash scripts.

Has anyone ever tried this? Will it remove only mailarchiva and leave everything else alone?

echo MailArchiva Uninstall
if [ `id -u` != "0" ]; then
        echo "Sorry, you are not root."
        exit 1
fi
echo -n "Are you sure you wish to uninstall MailArchiva (yes/no)? "
read proceed
if [ "$proceed" == "yes" ]; then 
 $SERVER/stopserver 2>/dev/null
 mkdir ./backup 2>/dev/null
 $SERVER/uninstallservice 2>/dev/null
 rm -rf $MAILARCHIVA_HOME 
 rm -rf $WEBAPP
 rm -rf $AUTOUPDATE
 rm -rf $CATALINA_BASE/work
 rm -rf $CATALINA_BASE/logs
 echo MailArchiva is uninstalled.
 echo FYI: If you experienced problems, please report to

else
 echo "aborted."

Based on what you've posted, this script should complete what you're looking for. From the terminal, in the directory where the script lives, run this:

sudo ./uninstall

  • Done, thank you. The script completed without errors, but I can still find files in those mailarchiva directories.

    How does one purge them?
