Is there a way to remove Simian from a client computer remotely?  We had a person leave the company and I want to remove Simian from his computer but I'm not in the same area as he is.  Has anybody done it?  Not sure if I can use Simian to remove simian, I doubt it but it was a thought.  The only thing I can think of is emailing him the terminal commands to delete everything (after I figure them out).

That'll do it.  You'll have to either package up a script that does this, or put this in a pkginfo preinstall_script, or something similar.

Or use SSH, or ARD, or Puppet, or mcollective, or ….

I ended up using Log Me In.  I've never learned how to do the scripting stuff. :)
