How can I display my manaual pages in a browser? Can I search my manual pages via my browser?
To display your manual pages with a browser, install man2html. This sets up a couple of programs in your cgi-bin directory. If you have customized apache and you don't have the standard directory, you may have to get the tarball and move a few files around.... /home/httpd/cgi-bin/man2html mansearch mansec manwhatis To access: http://localhost/cgi-bin/man2html Also, if you want to search the manual pages, install glimpse and make /var/man2html (mkdir /var/man2html). Then index your manual pages by running the following nightly or weekly: /usr/sbin/makewhatis /usr/bin/glimpseindex -H /var/man2html /usr/man/man* /usr/X11R6/man/man* \ /usr/local/man/man* /opt/man/man* chmod +r /var/man2html/.glimpse*
