Using the Command Line

Sending Commands to Remote Computers

To use commands on a remote computer, first use SSH to log in to the other computer:

$ ssh user@computer

where

user

is a user account on the remote computer and

computer

is its IP address

or DNS name.

Viewing the Man Pages

UNIX-style man pages describing each of the commands are available in /Library/

Filesystems/Xsan/man/.

If you get the response “No manual entry for . . .” when you try to view a man page,

add the Xsan man pages folder /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/man to your man search

path. If you’re running Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server version 10.3, you can add the

following line to the file /etc/manpath.config on your computer:

OPTIONAL_MANPATH /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/man

If you’re running Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server version 10.4, you can add the following

line to the file /usr/share/misc/man.conf:

MANPATH /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/man
