There are a couple problems with the above. First of all, Nico's suggestion got folded from one line to two. Secondly, you can only specify one config file argument after -m, and only one -m on an htmerge command line. So, to merge two databases into a third, you need 2 separate htmerge command lines. In the interests of keeping the lines short to avoid folding by the mail packages, I'll assume you're already in the CONFIG_DIR, e.g. /etc/htdig, to enter these commands: htmerge -s -c htdig.conf -m htdig-mobile1.conf htmerge -s -c htdig.conf -m htdig-mobile2.conf Of course, you can prepend any directory name you need to these config file names. The two databases specified by htdig-mobile*.conf will be merged, one after another, into the one specified by htdig.conf. Have a look at the htmerge documentation, at http://www.htdig.org/htmerge.html, for the description of the -m option. Although brief, it does make it clear which database is merged into which. As you already figured out, you need separate config files for each database, to specify a different database_base or database_dir. This point is already explained in http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.4 as well. > --- Nico De Ranter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I run two different databases with different > > settings and then merge > > them using: > > > > htmerge -s -c /etc/htdig/htdig.conf -m > > /etc/htdig/htdig-mobile.conf > > > > this way htdig-mobile.conf will be mergen INTO > > htdig.conf. -- Gilles R.
