You *did* miss one somewhere (maybe a cat version?). The indices don't contain the full text, so the old version of the man page text has to still be in a man directory somewhere. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Rebuilding man page indicies
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 How do I rebuild the man page indicies by hand? One of the programs I'm using isn't picking up the right man page...it keeps picking an old version. I've removed all old versions, but man $program keeps showing the old version. Unless I missed one somewhere, I believe I need to rebuild the man page indicies. How do I do this? I've looked at makewhatis and whatis, but those don't seem to do exactly what I think needs to be done. I'm reluctant to mess with either until I know what they'll do. Thanks. - -- Mike Loiterman grantADLER Tel: 630-302-4944 Fax: 773-868-0071 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key 0xD1B9D18E -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 8.0.2 Comment: This message has been digitally signed by Mike Loiterman iQA/AwUBP2+4Y2jZbUnRudGOEQJdJgCg0pZ5R7Imc/JDlL7URUI0BViKb3QAn1Op AV1ZHLTgyBcPOGjytVU8UgfU =H+5l -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
