Purpose
Starts the Information Center in a browser window.
Syntax
infocenter
Description
The infocenter command starts the Information Center in a browser window. The Information Center is the primary location for finding information about your system. With the Information Center you can navigate and search the documentation.
The Information Center can also be started by clicking the Information Center icon in the Help panel available from the CDE toolbar.
Note: The Information Center is available
only by means of an HTML browser. If the default URL is an external
address, then access to the Internet is required. The infocenter command
(and the Information Center icon) activates the browser and
directs the browser to the Web address of the Information Center.
The
Web address of the Information Center is
in the /usr/lpp/bosinst/bos.vendor.profile file. If the Information Center Web address
is provided in this file, it will be in the following format:
export INFORMATION_CENTER_URL=information center url
If
a line similar to this does not exist in the /usr/lpp/bosinst/bos.vendor.profile file,
or if the file does not exist, the user will receive a message indicating
that the Information Center cannot
start because an Information Center URL
was not found.Files
