Hi Greg,
Attached are the scripts and the conf files, there is documentation in the
header of the conf files.
Here's the contab entries:
# GribBinaryIndexer binary indexes 8.0 indexes
9 * * * * util/GribBinaryIndexer.pl -t /opt/tds-index/gbx8 >
/data/ldm/logs/GribBinar
yIndexer09.gbx8.log 2>&1
# GribBinaryIndexer binary indexes
19 * * * * util/GribBinaryIndexer.pl -t /opt/tds-index/gbx8 >
/data/ldm/logs/GribBina
ryIndexer19.gbx8.log 2>&1
...
...
The important flags are the -t, top of TDS distribution, the next directory
down needs to be the lib directory with the TDS jars, -j flag the latest java
location and the -f flag where the conf file resides. Since we run multiple
indexers and each creates a directory lock, it's possible that locks are not
removed when the script is not terminated normally, so the -c flag is used to
clear all locks. Use carefully. Normally the locks are removed by the program.
If you don't use a conf file, then the -d flag needs to be used so the indexer
knows where to start indexing.
/^(-c)/ && ( $clearLocks = "clear" );
/^(-d)/ && ( $startDir = shift ) ;
/^(-f)/ && ( $conf = shift ) ;
/^(-j)/ && ( $JAVA = shift ) ;
/^(-t)/ && ( $tomcatHome = shift ) ;
The manageFilesDirs script has the -f flag for the conf file location and the
documentation is in the conf file header. crontab is:
30 21 * * * util/manageFilesDirs.pl -f /local/ldm/etc/manageFilesDirs.conf >
/data/ldm/logs/manageFilesDirs.log 2>&1
Hopefully all the information was provided, if not let me know.
