NAME
htpurge - remove unused odocuments from the database
(general maintenance script)
SYNOPSIS
htpurge [-][-a][-c
configfile][-u][-v]
DESCRIPTION
Htpurge functions to remove specified URLs from
the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs, obsolete
documents, etc. It is recommended that htpurge be run after htdig
to clean out any documents of this sort.
OPTIONS
- -
- Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified
with -u). Format of input file is one URL per line.
-a Use alternate work files. Tells htpurge to append
.work to database files, causing a second copy of the
database to be built. This allows the original files to be used by
htsearch during the run.
- -c configfile
- Use the specified configfile instead of the default.
- -u URL
- Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be
specified multiple times if more than one URL are to be
removed. Should nor be used together with -.
- -v
- Verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the program.
Using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging purposes.
The default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice
progress report while digging.
FILES
- /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
- The default configuration file.
