I really do need some input on this..
I have simplified my questions to yes or no answers
so you don't have to take the time come up with some long RE.
I actually answered them. I just need some verification that I am or am
not of
my rocker sorta speak.
Please help
Thanks
I can see that the merge is on the "List o things to do"
but I was hoping there was someone out there who has done it.
yes?
y|n htmerge -a will create the *.*.work files which must be manually moved
to *.*
y|n db.docdb - Live database of URL's and information on the URL. This
file is
created by htdig and is used by htmerge to create
db.doc.index.
db.docdb can not be deleted
y|n db.docdb.work - Copy being built by a dig -a This file must be moved
to
db.docdb to activate the new index.
y|n db.docs.index - The index used to lookup all document matches.
Kind of like an index in a msql/sybase..
database
y|n db.docs.index.work - Copy of the index being built. This file must be
moved
into place when the re-index is
finished,
y|n db.wordlist.new - Temporary file which usually contains nothing.
Delete it
with extreme prejudism if you find one.
y|n db.wordlist.work Temporary file used to write sorted data out. If you
use the -w
option on htmerge you had better have set
an environment variable
$TMPDIR in your shell script and have
enough room in the
TMPDIR to hold the wordlist.
y|n db.wordlist.work.new - Parent of db.wordlist.new come to mess you up
because
you killed her db.wordlist.new.
Better kill this one two.
y|n db.words.gdbm - gdbm database used by htsearch created by htmerge.
y|n db.words.gdbm.work - built by a htmerge -a This file needs to be moved
to
db.words.gdbm to make it live
like the others.
Well how did I do?
Thanks
