Really, that's a surprise to me and my openSUSE machines:
+sles +"update-alternatives" - Yahoo! Search Results Code:
whereis update-alternatives
update-alternatives: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives /usr/lib/update-alternatives /usr/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8.gz
Code:
update-alternatives
update-alternatives: need --display, --config, --set, --install, --remove, --all, --remove-all or --auto
Usage: update-alternatives [<option> ...] <command>
Commands:
--install <link> <name> <path> <priority>
[--slave <link> <name> <path>] ...
add a group of alternatives to the system.
--remove <name> <path> remove <path> from the <name> group alternative.
--remove-all <name> remove <name> group from the alternatives system.
--auto <name> switch the master link <name> to automatic mode.
--display <name> display information about the <name> group.
--list <name> display all targets of the <name> group.
--config <name> show alternatives for the <name> group and ask the
user to select which one to use.
--set <name> <path> set <path> as alternative for <name>.
--all call --config on all alternatives.
<link> is the symlink pointing to /etc/alternatives/<name>.
(e.g. /usr/bin/pager)
<name> is the master name for this link group.
(e.g. pager)
<path> is the location of one of the alternative target files.
(e.g. /usr/bin/less)
<priority> is an integer; options with higher numbers have higher priority in
automatic mode.
Options:
--altdir <directory> change the alternatives directory.
--admindir <directory> change the administrative directory.
--verbose verbose operation, more output.
--quiet quiet operation, minimal output.
--help show this help message.
--version show the version. What is it that 'doesn't work'? I've used it recently for testing a java problem.
