It is possible to set up a recurring indexing process using
the cron facility, which allows you to run a command
at specific times. To invoke an indexing process,
use the aindex.pl script, which
can be found in the directory in which you installed Excite for Web Servers.
The usage for aindex.pl is as follows:
aindex.pl [collection name]
So, for example, if you wanted to index the collection
'webdata' every night at midnight, and your software was
installed in /usr/local/etc/architext, you would need
to add the following line to your crontab file using the
crontab command:
0 0 * * * /usr/local/etc/architext/aindex.pl webdataBe sure that the
cron job will be run under a user
id that has read and write privileges to the directory that
your indexes are stored in.
For more detailed information on the use of cron
and crontab, check your system's man
pages using the man command.
