rewalks with .set files

Two questions:
1) can a rewalk be set to use an option file?
2) After a rewalk is 'gw -index' done automatically? If not, what is the
point of automating rewalks if the new info isn't reflected in the index?

thanks-

Rewalking uses an option set from the remembered options table.
You can specify what option set to use with the -recall option.
By default the "lastrun" option set will be used. This contains the options
from the previous walk.
If you want to use a different set of options that you haven't previously
saved with -save, you will have to walk manually instead of using -rewalk.


Yes. That is the whole point.
(Unless you did a -noindex on the previous walk).


You could use the -e option to reload all pages that were fetched before
a specified date/time.

Or you could delete the specific pages from the database
(http://www.thunderstone.com/gw2man/node33.html) then refetch those
individual pages.
