Category:	MySQL Enterprise Monitor: Installing	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	1.3.0.8793	OS:	Linux
Assigned to:	BitRock Merlin	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
When using the unattended unInstall on Linux together with the not in the help file documented option "--env deleteUserData=yes" the text of the question is shown to the console:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...    /data0/merlin/monitoring/1.3.0.8793/net-qa1/18080/uninstall --mode unattended --env deleteUserData=yes
Do you also want to remove all data, logs and other files in the Apache, MySQL and Tomcat instances under
'/data0/merlin/monitoring/1.3.0.8793/net-qa1/18080'?

Caution, this will remove all user created files, even if they were present before installing MySQL Enterprise Monitor, including the data files of the bun
dled MySQL server. You will *not* be able to undo this action. Do not remove files if you plan to install an update.

Do you really want to remove ALL data and log files inside those directories?

Yes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Windows this text is not seen.

How to repeat:
use the command line shown above

Suggested fix:
- don't show anything in unattended mode
- can you add this to the --help output?

Patch sent to Keith.

Patch applied in revisions => 8910.

- not solved in 1.3.0.8939 on solaris10-sparc and on Linux x86 (RH4). Other systems not checked.

My apologies. This should not have been set to "QA Testing" for the 1.3 build. This is a patch for version 2.0 and will be applied with the next 2.0 build.

Patch applied.

tested OK with 2.0.0.7087

An entry was added to the 2.0 changelog:

When using the unattended unInstall script on Linux together with the option --env deleteUserData=yes the correct warning text was displayed. However, this text should not be displayed in unattended mode. Further, the option --env deleteUserData=yes was not displayed by the --help output.
