I installed AIX 4.3.3, but I can't find the package which contains the man
pages. Even "man man" does not work.

Wolfgang,

The man pages are on two separate CDs, Base Documentation and Extended
Documentation. The installed filesets are bos.html.en_US.*, if you are using
US English.

You have to install [bos.html.en_US.cmds] from the base
documentation CD. That's all.

Check out Chapter 7 of your AIX Version 4.3.3 Installation Guide.  The
chapter tells you how to install the man pages.

check out the following url, the html man pages take up a good bit of space:

If you just installed AIX, try the 'easy' way first.
At the lft (graphic) console, enter "install_assist"
and work your way thru the graphic prompts.

Folks,
there is no good old "man pages"  any more on AIX 4.3
they are only 'ghosts'.

At these times man pages are generated from primary "html"
documents on the fly (fast enough).
Now the main docs source is Web-based Documentation project.
The path  to html sources is "/usr/share/man/info/en_US"
And the main program to provide you with manuals is Web Server.
(you need Web browser, too).

To get 'man' working as before you should install LOCALLY
"AIX Base Documentation" set that is separate CD apart of 4-CD AIX
system set and if you like "AIX Extended Documentation" set that is one
more CD. You can use Remote Documentation Server but it is boring:
you type 'man lsvg' and you get couple of messages plus half-minute
timeout plus something is wrong in the network etc..

To set Doc server:
smit/System Environments/Internet and Documentation Services/

I love 'man pages' myself by have to admit that Web-browsing of
documentation is VERY nice feature with all this bookmarks and shortcuts
html gives us.

I have a bunch of AIX workstations here and I maintain one remote doc
server. If somebody wants I set for him local doc server.
(there are developers that do not need 'man' staff often and they
are happy with remote server).Many people love to browse AIX Docs on
their PC/MAC screen next to AIX one.

And of course you can use your man directory for 3rd party, GNU
whatelse software.

Hope that helps.

Nick.

Here the contens of Documentation CDs.

Hi All,

does anybody has some good sniplets for a 'remote beep' program ?

Idea: I search the workstation 'blub' - no monitoe, standing SOMEWHERE
in this room. Now it would be nice if this ws would gimme some
beep-beep-beep !

What i have so far is ok, if the ws has some kind of sound device (like
the UMS-stuff at AIX):

# Play music
#-----------
if [[ $SILENT = FALSE ]] ; then
  case $UNAME in
     AIX)   run_ums audio_play -f ping.wav >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
            ;;
     HP-UX) [[ $(ps -ef | awk ' $NF~"Aserver" || $(NF-1)~"Aserver" \
                { n+=1 } { if (n>1) {print "OK" ; exit 0} } ' )  = "OK"
]] \
             && /opt/audio/bin/send_sound ping.wav >/dev/null
2>/dev/null &
            ;;
     IRIX) /usr/sbin/sfplay -nice ping.wav >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
            ;;
     SunOS) /usr/bin/audioplay -i ping.wav >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
            ;;
  esac
fi

More ideas ? Especially for other OS ?! And what do i do if the
workstation jut have a speaker ?

Thanks for your help,
Joe

use "echo \\a"

echo \\a
works great, but just if you have your console connected to a terminal,
i.e. if a X server is running.
AND: 'xset b on' is set

Thanks, Joe
