Description Dan Macpherson 2013-02-06 01:10:34 UTC

Some of the command prompts in examples are using $ and some are using #, even in the same procedures.

Need to decide on which to use: either a normal user ($) or a superuser ($). Then apply to the entire book.

See Procedure 11.1. Updating Red Hat Update Infrastructure for an example:
http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Update_Infrastructure/2.1/html/Administration_Guide/chap-Administration_Guide-Updating_Red_Hat_Update_Infrastructure.html

Note that in the procedure above, step 9 includes two service commands run as a normal user. Not only is this inconsistent, but this also won't work as superuser privileges are required to run service commands.

> Need to decide on which to use: either a normal user ($) or a superuser ($). Then apply to the entire book.

That should be normal user ($) or superuser (#)

Comment 5 Dan Macpherson 2013-03-04 05:14:39 UTC

Verified $ has been removed in Administration Guide.

Some instances of $ for prompt still in Installation Guide. We'll rectify for 2.1.2

Comment 6 Dan Macpherson 2013-03-25 05:28:01 UTC

Verified $ changed to # in Installation Guide.
