| 28034 | How to set up man pages for Sun Ray server | 17 Sep 2001 |

| Description |
To setup the man page commands for the Sun Ray server, you need to set the MANPATH variable with the man page directory of the Sun Ray man pages. This is the /opt/SUNWut/man directory. If you set this directory in your $PATH, it will not work. You need to put the following lines in the /etc/profile file, so users get the correct MANPATH variable set when they log in:
MANPATH=/usr/dt/man:/usr/man
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/SUNWut/man
export MANPATH
Without the correct MANPATH variable, you will have to use the following command to get man pages:
# man -M /opt/SUNWut/man utpolicy
EXAMPLE WITHOUT THE MANPATH VARIABLE SET :
# uname -a
SunOS sunray1 5.8 Generic_108528-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWut/sbin:/opt/SUNWut/man
# echo $MANPATH
# man utpolicy
No manual entry for utpolicy.
# man -M /opt/SUNWut/man utpolicy
It works.
EXAMPLE WITH THE MANPATH VARIABLE SETUP :
#put the following lines in the /etc/profile file
MANPATH=/usr/dt/man:/usr/man
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/SUNWut/man
export MANPATH
# su - root
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.8 Generic February 2000
You have new mail.
# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWut/sbin:/opt/SUNWut/man
# echo $MANPATH
/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/opt/SUNWut/man
# man utpolicy
It works.
