I would recommend specifying a different temp directory for it to write its files to. That way, when it's done, you know for sure which files belong to it and can simply wipe out the entire directory. You can do this by setting the environment variable IATEMPDIR in your shell that you run the installer from. I did this by creating a wrapper shell script that sets all the environment variables that I need for the installation that then calls the real setup script. Mine looks like this:
#!/bin/sh export LANG=en_US.utf8 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/opt/bmc/ARSystem/bin export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/opt/bmc/ARSystem/bin:/opt/java/jdk1.6.0_13/bin export IATEMPDIR=/opt/artmp ./setup.sh The beauty of this is that all the 7.5 installers are run using setup.sh, so I simply copy my wrapper script into the Disk1 directory of whatever I'm installing and run it.

There were also times when we needed to cancel installation in the middle, or even kill the process directly. I've noticed that in the /tmp directory, there's a lot of folders named install.dir.XXXXX (i.e. install.dir.10169). the /tmp folder is already 11GB. is it ok to delete folders named install.dir.XXXXX also, there are files named env.properties.XXXXX (i.e. env.properties.16435), is it ok to delete them as well? Are there any other files generated during installation that i need to delete? (i.e. files inside /var/tmp, etc). Thanks! Regards, Kali NOTICE The information contained in this email is confidential.
