Topic: DEMO and rbldindex

[gapplin]

We are trying to test our application with a demo version of 5.6.05D4. The rbldindex script is 13,300 lines long. When we run it in the background with the at command, it takes about 48 hrs. Any way to speed that up?


Thanks.

There are some system varialbles (see PFNUMIXBUILD for starters, and possibly PFBIXBUILD if applicable) that may speed index rebuild time, but what to set them to would be resource and application-dependent, respectively.

13,000 lines is pretty long, though - are you sure there are no duplicates in the file?

I'm going to have support contact you to see if they can help find out why the file is so large.

Does your system really have over 13,000 indexes, or is something causing the script builder to include duplicate entries?

Run the following and see if it still says 13300:

Code: [Select]

sort <rbldindex | uniq | wc -l
(This will eliminate duplicate lines, and tell you how many lines are left.)

I used the sort command and got 13221. I know that some of this is because the programmers have made backups of different files. I wonder if some of time required to rebuild these indexes is due to the nag/info license screen that pops up with each command?

Just for reference for other users--

Support recommends moving any inactive files out of the active /filepro directory
if you want or need to create a new rebuild index script so those non-essential,
inactive files are not considered.


Gary, how is it working now?

I hope that made a considerable difference?
