Does anyone possibly have a bash script to uninstall Cirrato? I have tried many things without success.
I know that Cirrato isn’t a very common software, but I give it a try here anyway.

When I cant seem to find a clean way to uninstall something I will use Jamf Composer to take a snapshot before I install something. Then write a script that deletes everything that was installed by the installer.

@jonros If the Cirrato installer was a .pkg you can dump the list of files that were installed by running the lsbom tool with the -s option on the BOM receipt for that package (which can be found in /private/var/db/receipts/) like this:

lsbom -s /private/var/db/receipts/com.vendor.appname.bom > ~/Desktop/appname\\ BOM\\ Paths\\ Dump.txt

That won't include any files/directories created by scripts run during install. If those need to be removed I'd recommend using Suspicious Package to examine those scripts.

So after many hours of testing I finally managed to solve it. :)

Thanks for your posts anyway.
