Well, to figure this out, I just ran some tests. 1) Deleted all databases from the db directory 2) Ran htdig -c /var/htdig/conf/hci.conf
Everything worked as expected. All excerpts appeared as required. 3) Ran rudig.sh Excerpts vanished. Here is the htdig and htmerge sections of rundig.sh ##### Dig phase STARTTIME=`date` echo Start time: $STARTTIME echo rundig: Start time: $STARTTIME > $REPORT $BASEDIR/bin/htdig $verbose -s -a -c $BASEDIR/conf/$CONF >> $REPORT TIME=`date` echo Done Digging: $TIME echo rundig: Done Digging: $TIME >> $REPORT ##### Merge Phase $BASEDIR/bin/htmerge $verbose -s -a -c $BASEDIR/conf/$CONF >> $REPORT TIME=`date` echo Done Merging: $TIME echo rundig: Done Merging: $TIME >> $REPORT ##### Cleanup Phase # To enable htnotify or the soundex search, uncomment the following lines # $BASEDIR/bin/htnotify $verbose >>$REPORT # $BASEDIR/bin/htfuzzy $verbose soundex # Move 'em into place. Since we only need db.wordlist to do update digs # and we always use -a, we just leave it as .work mv $BASEDIR/db/db.wordlist.work $BASEDIR/db/db.wordlist # We need the .work for next time as an update dig, plus the copy for searching cp $BASEDIR/db/db.docdb.work $BASEDIR/db/db.docdb # These are generated from htmerge, so we don't want copies of them. mv $BASEDIR/db/db.docs.index.work $BASEDIR/db/db.docs.index mv $BASEDIR/db/db.words.db.work $BASEDIR/db/db.words.db My guess is I need to either comment out mv $BASEDIR/db/db.wordlist.work $BASEDIR/db/db.worlist or change it to cp $BASEDIR/db/db.wordlist.work $BASEDIR/db/db.worlist Regardless, I don't understand what would cause the excerpts to disappear. Any help figuring out why the excerpts are vanishing would be really, really great!
