How to tell how indexing is going

[jkj2001]

Is it possible to get an idea on how far along (%) an index creation process is? Meaning, I fire off my shell script to index a field, and I see the .tok file and others steadily increasing in size, but I don't know how close things might be to completing.

If you have another metamorph index that is similar you can compare the .tok file sizes. You can also set indexmeter=1; before you start creating the index and it will show you how far it is.
