Regards, Robert If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Rout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 9 June 2004 9:50 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: man colour in console. well then it seems mandrake does not set PAGER in the user's environment. Is this from an xterm or a console? try this little experiment: man man ctrl-z (to stop the job) ps (to see what is running in that terminal) (make a note of what you see) fg (to put man man back in the foreground) q (to quit the man program) that should tell us what pager man is using. If PAGER and MANPAGER are not set I guess it uses the man default of less -is (per my last post) On Wed, 09 Jun 2004 09:40:38 +1200 "Fisher, Robert (FXNZ CHC)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mandrake 10 box...... > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] robert]$ echo $PAGER > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] robert]$ env > LESSKEY=/etc/.less > LC_PAPER=en_NZ > KDE_MULTIHEAD=false > LC_ADDRESS=en_NZ > LC_MONETARY=en_NZ > HOSTNAME=heavyman > TERM=xterm > SHELL=/bin/bash > HISTSIZE=1000 > XDM_MANAGED=/var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-13.195.9.17:0,maysd,mayfn,sched > GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Galaxy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/hom > e/robert/.gtkrc-2.0:/home/robert/.kde/share/config/gtkrc > TMPDIR=/home/robert/tmp > GTK_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Galaxy/gtk/gtkrc:/etc/gtk/gtkrc:/home/robert/ > .gtkrc:/home/robert/.kde/share/config/gtkrc > GS_LIB=/home/robert/.fonts > WINDOWID=35651589 > LC_NUMERIC=en_NZ > QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3/ > KDE_FULL_SESSION=true > http_proxy=http://nzlproxy.nzl.xerox.com:8000 > USER=robert > XCURSOR_SIZE= > LS_COLORS=no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40; > 33;01:or=01;05;37;41:mi=01;05;37;41:ex=01;32:*.cmd=01;32:*.exe=01;32:*.com=0 > 1;32:*.btm=01;32:*.bat=01;32:*.sh=01;32:*.csh=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31: > *.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.gz=01; > 31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*. > gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.tif=01;35: > LC_TELEPHONE=en_NZ > ftp_proxy=ftp://nzlproxy.nzl.xerox.com:8000 > SESSION_MANAGER=local/heavyman:/tmp/.ICE-unix/3969 > KONSOLE_DCOP=DCOPRef(konsole-4474,konsole) > NLSPATH=/usr/share/locale/%l/%N > MAIL=/var/spool/mail/robert > DESKTOP_SESSION=default > PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/usr/games:/home/ > robert/bin > LC_MESSAGES=en_GB > SECURE_LEVEL=2 > LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_NZ > LC_COLLATE=en_GB > KONSOLE_DCOP_SESSION=DCOPRef(konsole-4474,session-1) > INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc > PWD=/home/robert > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > LANG=en_GB > HELP_BROWSER=kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing > LC_MEASUREMENT=en_NZ > HISTCONTROL=ignoredups > SHLVL=2 > HOME=/home/robert > LANGUAGE=en_GB:en > XCURSOR_THEME=default > GCONF_TMPDIR=/tmp > TMP=/home/robert/tmp > LESS=-MM > LOGNAME=robert > LC_CTYPE=en_GB > LESSOPEN=|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s > BROWSER=kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing > DESKTOP=kde > DISPLAY=13.195.9.17:0.0 > LC_TIME=en_GB > G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1 > COLORTERM= > XAUTHORITY=/home/robert/.Xauthority > LC_NAME=en_NZ > _=/usr/bin/env > [EMAIL PROTECTED] robert]$ > > > Regards, Robert > If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably > worth it. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick Rout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 9 June 2004 9:21 a.m. > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: man colour in console. > > what does > > env > > give you? > > On Wed, 09 Jun 2004 09:06:25 +1200 > "Fisher, Robert (FXNZ CHC)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Nick Rout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, 9 June 2004 7:46 a.m. > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: man colour in console. > > > > > > echo $PAGER to find out what your pager is by default > > > > Are you sure? > > echo $PAGER gave me nothing. > > -- > Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
