running many gw simultaneously

How can I run many gw on one database with the same options?

first time I run for example:

gw -mlv.set -ddb "&url.lst"

what is the right syntax if:
1. gw process is accidently stopped with power off or Ctrl+C
2. I would like to run additional gw to speed process

in both situations I would like to keep all settings defined in .set and =
lst files.

thank You,

Just run the second gw with the same command line except for the url list.
they will both work off of the same todo list. Also make sure you're using
-w0 if you want to walk as fast as possible.

If you interrupt gw with ^C, it will exit nicely at the first safe
moment. If you power off while it's running, you risk corrupting your
database.
