NAME
ab2cd - run AnswerBook2 server from the Documentation CD
SYNOPSIS
ab2cd [ -h ] [ stop ] [ -d path_to_CD_mountpoint ] [ -p
port_number ] [ -s ] [ -v ]
DESCRIPTION
The ab2cd utility runs an AnswerBook2 server directly from
the Documentation CD by creating necessary space in the
/tmp/.ab2 directory to store configuration files and other
necessary data. It attempts to launch a web browser with the
appropriate URL to display the library page for the user.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d path_to_CD_mountpoint
Specifies a mount point for the CD other than /cdrom.
-h Displays a usage statement and a brief list of
options.
-p port_number
Specifies a port number to use for the server. Default
value is 8888.
-s Scans for AnswerBook1 and AnswerBook2 collections
installed on the system and adds them to the database
of the AnswerBook2 server running from the CD.
stop Stops AnswerBook2 server running from the CD and
removes any files in the /tmp/.ab2 directory.
-v Returns the version number of the ab2cd script.
USAGE
ab2cd expects /cdrom as the default mount point. To override
this default, use the -d option.
Use the stop option to shut down the server running from the
Documentation CD. This option cleans up any files in
/tmp/.ab2.
By default, the ab2cd script attempts to launch a web
browser (preferably Netscape Navigator) with the appropriate
URL to display the library page for the user. If Netscape is
not found in the user's path, it then looks for other
browsers.
For an AnswerBook2 server to read multi-byte characters
correctly, the iconv utility must be installed on the
system. If it is not, the ab2cd script starts the server,
but the user cannot correctly view Asian book titles or
other information.
EXAMPLES
