# retkman(1)

A utility to restart the tkman information viewer

## NAME

retkman - A utility to restart the tkman information viewer

## SYNOPSIS

**retkman**

## DESCRIPTION

If you change your  **MANPATH,** either manually or as a side effect of some program, say, a modules system, you can rerun  [**TkMan**(1)](/TkMan/1.md) to pick up the new paths by quitting it and restarting.   The script retkman provides a command that can be used as part of an  alias to automatically rerun  [**TkMan**(1)](/TkMan/1.md) as necessary.  If there are multiple instances of TkMan running on different machines, the one restarted is the one on the same machine from which  **retkman** was invoked.

## AUTHOR

**retkman** is part of the [**tkman**(1)](/tkman/1.md) package, by Tom Phelps.

This manpage was written by Yann Dirson for  *Debian GNU/Linux*, by including text from the *tkman-help.html.* I hope it is accurate enough.
