Suggest wrong man page -- move from man8 to man1 #35

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi

manpage created was man8 but command= man man suggests

man8 is for System administration commands (usually only for root) 

but man1 is 

Executable programs or shell commands

-------
this is entirely my fault as the original manpage creator

I tried to create or upload files at trunk, had to kill pages in google chrome 
beta as I got an "aw snap" issue

so attaching files instead and repository is (changed) to a google site
for easier download

only the first and last lines of manpage have changed
last line to show my name as I will use it to submit to a Debian sponsor 
when deb package built successfully and tested etc

in addition debian policy also appears to want man1

[quote]
So, we should install executable commands in /usr/bin instead of 
/usr/local/bin, the manual page in /usr/share/man/man1 instead of 
/usr/local/man/man1, and so on.

Yes I did not read this when I forced you to accept man8
