Indexing by command line...

Canadian · 01-04-2004, 12:08 PM

I have alist of URLs to index contained in a text file. I would like to index them by command line. In reading the documentation I do not understand PHP well enough to know what "Launched by the shell" means. Is the command interface soemthing I launch in the browser or.... ??

Thanks for any insight on this.

Hi. Command line basically means to use SSH/Telnet. If interested, there is a cron job tutorial here.

We are getting closer.... I have setup the Cronjob according to the tutorial... but i do not have shell access to the server

Any way to setup the cronjob to work on its own without needing shell access?

Ok I have changed my mind.... now I do have Shell Access (just got it setup). I am trying now to go back and follow what looks like a simple one line command in the documentation (section 8).

This is what i have been trying..... can you see any obvious errors (it does ntohing, no error code, just does nothing at all).....

Problem solved! Still have some of hair too..... for anyone interested..... when using SSH do not actually type the "#" prior to your commands...... and by the way now that I am using this system, indexing by command interface from textfile lists proves about twice as efficient if you are compiling your index from a paper list.
