Hi Johnny,

Unfortunately, there is no way to run uninstall scripts on a per-module
basis easily. You can run post-install scripts with a command like :

WEBMIN_CONFIG=/etc/webmin WEBMIN_VAR=/var/webmin /path/to/webmin/run-postinstall.sh $modulename

But there is no (yet) a similar way of running just one module's uninstall function.
