Restarting an Interrupted Job

You begin spidering a single web site where you want to gather pages in order to only index linked Adobe Acrobat PDF documents which reside only on that host. You do not want to index the parent files. Due to a corrupt document, the spidering job fails. You then restart the indexing job.

Original indexing command:

vspider -cmdfile /verity/vspider/htmlpdf.cmd

where htmlpdf.cmd consists of:

-collection icd.coll
-start http://www.website.com
-indmimeinclude application/pdf

Reissued indexing command from the command-line:

% vspider -collection icd.coll -restart -host www.website.com -indmimeinclude application/pdf

-restart

-host

Unnecessary Options for this Case

Option
Reason
-start, -resync, -refresh
When you use the -restart option, you cannot use the -start, -resync or -refresh options.
