The top directory of where you installed Harvest is known as $HARVEST_HOME. By default, $HARVEST_HOME is /usr/local/harvest. The following files and directories are located in $HARVEST_HOME:
COPYRIGHT README brokers/ lib/
ChangeLog RunHarvest* cgi-bin/
INSTRUCTIONS.html bin/ gatherers/
COPYRIGHT contains the copyright restrictions for Harvest.
ChangeLog contains a detailed account of the history of changes to the
Harvest software. INSTRUCTIONS.html contains the instructions on how to
install and run the Harvest software. This HTML file is also maintained
on-line. README
contains the README file from the Harvest source distribution.
RunHarvest is the script used to create and run Harvest servers (see
Section 3.7). The RunHarvest program is not in the
bin directory so that it can be run without requiring the user to set
their HARVEST_HOME environment variable first, and to make it stand out
because it is the primary (and simplest) way to start up the system.
RunHarvest has the same command line syntax as Harvest below.
