43 Any user on the system is able to use the
44 ''scrollkeeper-update (8)'' command to generate a
2 perry 45 !ScrollKeeper database at any path that the user has write
1 perry 46 permission to. The user can over-ride the system default
47 OMF_DIR path variable by setting a shell variable of the
48 same name, OMF_DIR. In this way, a user can create a
49 document catalog which contains a superset of the system
50 documentation, or a completely independent set of documents
51 which the user may be interested in.

53
54 Note that most applications will register its documentation
55 at install time, and unregister it at uninstall time. Thus,
2 perry 56 a user who keeps their own personal !ScrollKeeper database
1 perry 57 may need to periodically run ''scrollkeeper-update (8)''
58 manually (or with cron) to keep their database
59 up-to-date.
