NAME

searchd - search daemon

SYNOPSIS

searchd -D [-R] [-l logfile] [configfile]

searchd -h

DESCRIPTION

searchd is a search daemon. Its purpose in ASPseek is to search the database created by index(1), cache search results etc. It listens on a port for s.cgi(1) queries, does the search and returns results found to s.cgi(1).

searchd loads some data from the database to memory to speed up search. If that data is changed on disk, searchd reloads it.

OPTIONS

-D
is used to run searchd as a daemon. You need it every time you run searchd.
-R
is used to auto-restart searchd in case of its failure. So using this option you will get non-stop search engine.
-l logfile
sets that searchd should write its log into specified logfile. By default log is written into /usr/local/aspseek/etc/dlog.log.
-h
is used to get a help message from searchd.
configfile
is the name of configuration file to be read. Default is /usr/local/aspseek/etc/searchd.conf.

FILES

/usr/local/aspseek/etc/searchd.conf
/usr/local/aspseek/var/dlog.log

BUGS

If you try to start searchd, but the port used by it is already in use by another program (most probably another searchd), you will not get error message to console, only to log file. So every time before trying to start searchd check that there's no searchd running, and kill it if necessary. Or, after starting searchd, check the log file for errors.
