WEBDIST(1)							    WEBDIST(1)

NAME
     webdist - Web Software Distribution Tool

SYNOPSIS
     webdist distdir

DESCRIPTION
     Given an Inst software distribution directory, webdist automatically
     generates the HTML for a Web Software Distribution page.  With a Web
     Software Distribution page, a user can choose and install the Inst
     products in a distribution directory using a Web interface.  An Inst
     software distribution directory contains products that can be installed
     using the SoftwareManager(1M) or Inst(1M) installation programs.

     The distdir argument is used to specify the pathname of the software
     distribution directory that contains Inst products.  The HTML generated
     by webdist is printed to standard output.

     This utility must be invoked on the same host as the Inst software
     distribution directory.

     The output after the successful execution of this utility is the HTML
     which defines a form interface for selecting software products for
     installation.  This form will contain a list of toggle buttons
     corresponding to the software products in the distribution directory and
     have titles displaying their descriptive name.  For products with blank
     descriptive names, the short product name is displayed.

     Following the list of installable products, are two radio buttons that
     enable the user to choose between starting the installation immediately
     or allowing the user to view the selections before starting.

     At the bottom of the form are two buttons, a submit button labeled
     Install Software starts the software installation process, and a reset
     button labeled Clear Selections clears the selected products in the list.
     Pressing the Install Software button invokes SoftwareManager(1M).
