LHCb Online System Administrator's guide

Howto write the guide

The guide is written in LaTex. The sources are in CVS. You can also find them in /afs/cern.ch/user/n/niko/public/doc/adminguide

To checkout, assuming you use AFS, set your CVSROOT to

CVSROOT=:kserver:isscvs.cern.ch:/local/reps/lhcbonline
cvs co doc/adminguide
cd doc/adminguide
make

In case you use ssh

CVSROOT=:ext:isscvs.cern.ch:/local/reps/lhcbonline
CVS_RSH=ssh

will create the pdf.

Currently a lot is missing. Most chapters are just contentlines.
