The only way I know to do this requires manual actions ... "System, Delete
Thyself" doesn't really work. You can make it unusable, but you can't
totally blow it away. Some portion of it will remain, even though it won't
boot ... not unless you pre-program a PC or other "system" to issue the
manual commands for you. Even the 'telnet' session can't delete everything
without deleting the telnet session, and once that's deleted, who knows how
much will continue after that.
This doesn't sound like something I would want to do, even in testing.
Something like this is too dangerous and sounds more like destructive
behavior than constructive behavior.
Where does this fit in to your work day/style/etc.?

No, I don't even want AIX to be left in there. How do I do that

Delete your files, remove file systems you created and LV's, remove any data
volume groups you created and then do an over-write install of AIX.

I just wanted to know if I could delete it completely from a
remote terminal (using telnet)?

I'm at a disaster and recovery site and would like to know what is the
quickest way to delete the entire system before I leave.
is the command ---> rm -R , from the root directory sufficient?
how do I place this in a cron job to delete tonight at 11PM.
thanks
joe
