When htdig finds that a server is down, all the URLs for that server are marked as "gone", so htmerge will remove them from the database, but only if the "remove_bad_urls" attribute is set to true when you run htmerge. It is true by default, so you must set it to false in your htdig.conf if you don't want the URLs to be deleted. This is the standard operation of htmerge, which you run after htdig to clean up things and generate the url index and word index. Your first question, if I understand correctly, deals with "htmerge -m", which is for merging two databases together. You should be aware of the need to run htmerge, without -m, individually on each of the two databases created by htdig, before you run htmerge to merge one into the other. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "how does htmerge work". If you mean how to use it to merge two databases, you'd run a command like: htmerge -c db1.conf -m db2.conf and it would merge the database specified by db2.conf into the database specified by db1.conf. See http://www.htdig.org/htmerge.html for details. If that's not the explanation you're looking for, could you please restate the question more clearly? -- Gilles R.
