Operating Systems Solaris How to read the man page for commands related to cluster Post 302445574 by kumarmani on Monday 16th of August 2010 09:11:33 AM

Appreciate your help and its worked, however now I can’t access the other command man page !!! Though I inserted the path into the MANPATH as MANPATH=$MANPATH:/ Smilie

Also, if I go and list the environment variables after closing my session there is no reference of MANPATH on initial logging. I know to make persistence across logging I have to place the entry my .profile.
