1. The documentation for htdig on '-i' says: -i: Initial. Do not use any old databases. This is accomplished by first erasing the databases. So, this would be used if you wanted to create an entirely new database. Useful if some pages have been deleted since htdig doesn't remove links that are no longer existing. 2. I think there's a couple more issues to think about for this one. A couple are, -connection speed (if you are indexing other servers). -type of webserver -amount of memory Just giving a couple of pointers, the pro's might have some insight here :) - Atle >>> "Felciano, Ramon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/11/00 07:06PM >>> Hello -- I've just downloaded and installed htdig on our intranet. I have two questions: 1. Although it doesn't seem to be documented explicitly, I assume that htdig's default mode of operation is incremental. That is, htdig will only index new pages unless you specify -i on the command line. Can someone confirm this for me? If this is the case, it seems like a worthwhile addition to the documentation given that the mnemonic switch for non-incremental mode is "-i" (!). 2. Is there any way to get a sense for how long htdig will run? For example, assuming no pages need to be updated, how long would it take htdig to scan through 10,000 pages? Obviously this is CPU dependent, etc. but I'm trying to get an order-of-magnitude feel. Thanks! Ramon _________________________________ Ramon M.
