Any specific reason this script should be used instead of "yum remove"
of the obsolete kernel package? AFAIK, rpm will automatically remove
all the associated files, grub entry, etc.
It gets better. Not only does yum do this, it does this
semi-automatically. Yum has a configuration option called
installonly_limit where the default is set to 2 in Fedora.
That means, whenever a third new kernel is installed via yum, the oldest
one is automatically purged leaving the current running kernel and a
older revision alone. This value is of course, configurable. A script to
do this manually breaks package management badly and should never be done.
