dial up connection...

[Thunderstone]

Hi I connect to my server using my dialup connection and telnet.. After I
begin an indexing process with /webinator/bin/gw http://example.mysite.com
if I disconnect from my isp, will the program continue to run or, will it
stop...

Another question is... when does gw stop after indexing all the sites in the
domain, or after a fixed number of pages....

What does it do when it finds external links on the pages...

thanks,
Baris Sumengen

Are you running gw on your machine or at the ISP?

If you're running on your own machine and you're walking your own
machine, it will probably continue. If you're walking internet sites or
need external dns lookups, it will fail. You will need to get back
online to restart or search as it will need to contact the license
server occasionally.

If you're running on the ISP's machine, it will will be killed when
you hangup unless you use the standard unix "nohup" command.
e.g.: nohup gw -d- http://....


gw indexes all of the pages on a single site (unless it hits the 10000 page
limit of the free version). It will also walk all pages on any referenced
sites with domains specified with -domain.


gw does not follow offsite links unless instructed to do so.
