The particular ones that are causing me heartburn today are running
/opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/agentadm unconfigure
(I'm not sure exactly what that does, but I think it unplugs modules
from the Cacao infrastructure and maybe tears down a connection with the
management server)
and
/usr/sbin/cacaoadm prepare-uninstall
(I'm not sure what it does, but it probably involves shutting down
daemons and perhaps removing SMF services.)
The latter comes from the stock Solaris package SUNWcacaort, so it's a
modularity violation if my uninstaller does the work before doing the
uninstall.
(Further complexity is caused by the fact that sometimes these packages
are installed and uninstalled by an installer with provisions for
plugging in arbitrary code and sometimes by an installer without those
provisions, and sometimes they are installed as IPS packages and
sometimes as SVR4 packages. I think we currently use three of the four
cases.)
