RE: Daemontools uninstall

Fernando,

The sequence indicated below ought to work for daemontools 0.76
(gleaned from the following links:
<http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/wiki/runit>
<http://forum.qmailrocks.org/archive/index.php/t-2909.html>
<http://old.nabble.com/Re:-How-to-uninstall-djbdns--p1021494.html>)

Note that it makes sense to begin by uninstalling (or
modifying/migrating to another service management framework) any
software which you current have using "supervise" or "multilog".

"Unsupervise" any supervised services - for every supervised service
"foo":
    svc -x /service/foo
    cd /service
    rm foo

Kill any instances of svcscan that are running:
    ps -auxw | grep svscan
    kill the PID(s) for svscan

Prevent svcscan from being launched on (re)boot:
    vi /etc/rc.conf and remove the line that says
    csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &'

Kill any instances of supervise that are (still) running:
    ps -auxw | grep supervise

Kill any instances of readproctitle that are (still) running:
    ps -auxw | grep readproctile

Remove the following files (from package manifest):

/usr/local/man/man8/envdir.8.gz=20
/usr/local/man/man8/envuidgid.8.gz=20

Probably the closest list that there is.

It's not really designed to be uninstalled.  I typically take snapshots
of all the filenames on this system before and after installing these
sorts of tools and compare them so I know what additions have been made,
but that's not going to help you here.  I think your best bet is to look
at the list of files listed in .../package/commands and remove those
by hand.  Also manually check how your svscanboot is being initiated
and "reverse the damage" done by that.  Or just ignore it - if you're
not using the tools, it's not like it's bloatware occupying gigabytes
of disk space.
