Purpose
Starts the Information Center in a browser
window.
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 on 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.
