Hi Papatot,

how did you try to run the command? If you want to create a database to be able to use " man -k keyword" try:

catman -w

Allways stay on the bright side of life!

When I re-run like this:
#catman -w
After a while, "#" prompt appeared, but no other message. Does this means the command run OK?

Hi,

If the '#' prompt returned without any error messages that means the shell has returned a status '0'. A status '0' means that there has been no errors reported.

Hope this explains things.
