packages for an other application. Is this something that is <SPAN

typically used to do this just to ensure a clean removal of the package.
In fact, I can visualize clear danger in doing so, with some serious side
effects when running production systems.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

to administrators, as Garrick <SPAN

torque and not simply an accident<SPAN class=869533813-03122008>that
occurred</SPAN>. Is it so difficult to shutdown the daemons prior to using
RPM to remove the package? I don't know how your configuration is setup,
but in ours, it is a<SPAN class=869533813-03122008>s</SPAN> simple to do a two

<DIV>I agree cluster admins can use Torque not in RPM. But as the general
package format on Linux, RPM does have some advantages. If we can fix this minor
issue, that would be helpful.</DIV>
