To Update Your MANPATH Variable

The following example procedure shows how to ensure that the Application Server man pages are available using the C shell.

Steps

1. Add the location of your Java ES component man pages to your MANPATH environment variable.

   • On Solaris OS, the following example command sets your MANPATH environment variable for the session:

     setenv MANPATH {$MANPATH}:/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/opt/SUNWappserver/share/man

     To configure this environment variable to apply each time you log in, add the setenv command contents to your .login or .cshrc file.

   • On Linux, update the /etc/man.config file with the required MANPATH. For example, add this line to the /etc/man.config file:

     MANPATH /opt/sun/man

     The new man pages will be fully accessible, regardless of path.

     Note –

     For Linux, if users have MANPATH settings in their own shells, the procedure for Solaris OS should be used. This allows their personal settings to override the /etc/man.config file.

2. Verify that the man pages are accessible.

   For example, the following command should display the asadmin man page for Application Server:

   man asadmin
