dowalk deletes db1?

I made a typo while trying to do a reindex (remakindex.txt).

1. Does this call a dispatch instead?

2. Would this delete an existing data directory (db1, the one I was trying to reindex).

Thanks

Yes, using a non-existent entry point will default to "main" which does a dispatch when used from the command line. You could change that with a simple edit to the "<a name=main" function of dowalk.

Walks alternate between db1 and db2. Once a new walk database is completed and made live the old database is deleted. The search knows which to use by consulting the profile for the SS_db setting.
