So my first question is whether you've looked at the databases
themselves--do they still look like they're the same size as when you
first ran it?
---Given that there are only 3 days of activity thus far... But in any
case, yes,
---they all seem to be around the same size. That is as reported by our
---backup system which also runs every day.
---db.docdb =~ 12.5MB
---db.docs.index =~ 400Kb (2nd day @ 392Kb)
---db.urls =~ 2.16MB
---db.wordlist =~ 21.2MB
---db.words.db =~ 20.4MB
---(is this all of them?)
More specifically, depending on how many pages you index and your setup,
you may not want to run a cron job every day--if it takes more than 24
hours at some point, then the next day it will start up and clobber
everything!
---The "rundig" only takes about 10 minutes to run at 0130 AM in the
morning.
---Thats why I felt secure running it as a cron job daily.
Beyond that, I'd consider how much free disk space you have--the htmerge
phase can take quite a bit when sorting the wordlist, especially if you
have a big database. If the sorting runs out of space, strange things can
happen.
---The entire /apache tree, which includes the htdig workspace, is on a
Solstice
---DiskSuite device with 17GB of total space, with 10GB of it still free
(37%
---utilization).
