Rewalk (-rewalk)

Syntax: -rewalk

Rewalk the site(s) represented in the current database. The rewalk is performed to a temporary database. When the rewalk is complete, the temporary database is indexed and the current database is replaced by it. gw should not be run from within the database directory when using this option.

The options and critical files such as top.html and bottom.html are copied into the new database from the old. Otherwise, the new database is a fresh directory. The existing gw.log file, query log, and any non-database files will be lost.

-rewalk ignores all options except -d, -v and -recall. It uses the options from your last walk, or those specifed by -recall. If you wish to use different options, you need to perform a complete walk manually once with those options.

Note: This option will not work on databases created with Webinator 1.x .
