3. Uninstall Regional Agent

Guide for regional-check-agent, with explanations and extra cleanup options:


Stop and Disable the Service

sudo systemctl stop regional-check-agent
sudo systemctl disable regional-check-agent
  • stop → halts the running service.

  • disable → prevents it from auto-starting at boot.


Uninstall Options

  1. Remove Package (keep configs & logs)

    sudo dpkg -r regional-check-agent
    • Uninstalls the binaries.

    • Keeps configuration files (often in /etc/regional-check-agent.service/) and logs.

    • Use this if you want to reinstall later without losing settings.

  2. Purge Package (remove everything)

    sudo dpkg --purge regional-check-agent 
    • Removes binaries and configuration files.

    • Leaves nothing behind from the .deb package.

    • Best choice for a clean uninstall.


Verify Removal

dpkg -l | grep regional-check-agent
  • If nothing shows up → package is gone.

  • If you see rc → it was removed but config files are still present.


Optional: Clean Residual Data

If the agent stored runtime data or logs outside the package (common locations):

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/regional-check-agent
sudo rm -rf /var/log/regional-check-agent

After this, distributed-regional-check-agent will be fully removed.
