Brings up the Information Center in a browser window.
infocenter
The infocenter command brings up the Information Center in a browser window. The Information Center is the central point from which AIX and pSeries documentation, AIX FAQs, the AIX Error Message Database, and How-to documentation can be accessed. The Information Center can also be brought up by clicking on the Information Center icon on the Help Panel available from the CDE toolbar.
The URL for the Information Center is in the /usr/lpp/bosinst/bos.vendor.profile file. If the Information Center URL is provided in this file, it will be in the following format:
export INFORMATION_CENTER_URL=<information center url>
If a line similar to this does not exist in the /usr/lpp/bosinst/bos.vendor.profile file, or if the file does not exist, the user will receive a mesage indicating that the Information Center cannot start because an Information Center URL was not found.
