Switching from Ksplice to KernelCare without a Server Reboot

The typical process of switching from Ksplice to KernelCare is simple and straightforward:

Uninstall Ksplice –> Install KernelCare –> Relax

We don’t want you to figure out how to uninstall Ksplice. So, we have created a script instead.

All you have to do is run it and not only it will make sure Ksplice is fully uninstalled, it will also install KernelCare for you in one shot.

All without a reboot.
