How to uninstall old version (0.1) of Raspberry Control from RPi (read only if you have installed previously version):

Previously version of “Raspberry Control” doesn’t have uninstaller, so you have to remove all files manualy:

rm -Rf $HOME/Raspberry_Control
sudo insserv -r rpc_shellinaboxd
sudo rm /etc/init.d/rpc_shellinaboxd

and remove “/home/pi/Raspberry_Control/core/rpc_export” line form ~/.bashrc file (probably it will be last line in this file).
