Reindexing on a schedule

It is often desirable to reindex a given site on a regular basis because of continuously changing content. You may specify a rewalk schedule to gw to handle this for you.

gw -rewalk="every day at 1am"

will rewalk the site(s) contained in the default database every day at 1:00 am.

gw -dmanuals -rewalk="every 11pm saturday"

will rewalk the site(s) contained in the database named manuals every Saturday at 11:00 PM.

It is also useful to perform a single rewalk at a later time or date to avoid overloading a web server during heavy use periods.

gw -rewalk="2am"

will rewalk the site(s) contained in the default database at 2:00 am.
