I've run, stoped the index and restarted index a number of times and have not experienced having the index start from scratch. This is how I run index:
Before I run the indexer I look at the current stats: ./index -S Now I know what I'm dealing with before I start. Then I run the indexer: ./index -N 80 -R 64 When I want to stop the process I do (from another prompt of course): ./index -E Then I build the deltas: ./index -D I then do what ever and again check the stats: ./index -S I then compare my figures. Next I restart the process: ./index -N 80 -R 64 and things work as expected without restarting from the begining. One time it did start all over. In fact indexer was in a loop. The reason was that I had the "Period" in aspseek.conf incorrectly used. I mixed "M"inutes with "m"onth which instead of reindexing every month like I thought, I set it to reindex every minute which caused everything to loop. Other than that the indexing worked OK. Sure I have other problems as does most everyone else does I'm sure, but not the problem you are having. Regards, Karen
