  • What are you doing? rpm -qa | grep memcached? find /usr/local/ -name memcached?

  • Xlima. I am not sure this question really belongs here as this is basic RPM management. There is no real issue here other than your lack of training regarding rpm management on Centos. I suggest review some basic server admin items. ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lpic1-v3-102-5

If you wish to remove all instances of memcached from your CentOS server use yum to accomplish this task:

Use yum list to check for memecached instances:

yum list | grep memcached

Use yum deplist to check the list of dependances of this package before removing:

yum deplist memcached

Use yum remove to remove the package:

yum remove memcached

  • The first comman you mentioned shows you not only installed instances but also available packets. And you can do it without grep: yum list installed memcached

  • I just wanted to point out that yum list installed memcached is not exactly the same as yum list installed | grep memcached. Using grep, you are listing all installed packages and then only showing lines from the output that contain the word memcached (so non-exact matches like memcached-devel will also show up). If you just do yum list installed memcached, only packages with that name will show up (so memcached-devel would not show up).
