| l (Log) |
Show query strings as they are requested by a client.
|
| v (Verbose) |
Show progress of the background indexing thread in lazy mode. Will produce same output as with the reindex command when
running Alkaline as a daemon.
|
| sf=X (SleepFile=X) |
Force the reindex thread to sleep X seconds between two files being reindexed. X must be a positive integer or 0.
|
| sr=X (SleepRoundtrip=X) |
Force the reindex thread to sleep X seconds after each indexing roundtrip. X must be a positive integer or 0.
|
| No404 |
Skip pre-processing (verification of removed files). This option can be used when you know that no full sections,
but at most individual documents have been removed from the site.
The HTTP/404 verification step is necessary when a page foo.html references bar.html and the latter references dummy.html.
Removing bar.html and dummy.html means that the link path to dummy.html is broken and the page will never be removed
from the index as it cannot be reached any longer.
|
| Reindex |
Force the Reindex=N flag in all configurations during background indexing. |
| Expire |
Force the expire option in the configuration files; treat all documents as out-of-date. |
| Once |
Perform background indexing only once upon daemon launch, newly runtime added groups into the equiv/equiv.struct
will be reindexed once only as well. |
| NewOnly |
Force the NewOnly=Y option in the configuration files; index only those files that
are not already in the index, this also allows to restart indexing from the interrupted point. |
| Ssi |
Enable server-side includes on Alkaline template pages. |
| Exv |
Track which urls are included or excluded, which pages are indexed or skipped and for what
humanly readable reason. |
| Exx |
Dump html parser tags for tracking of html errors. |
| d (Daemon) |
Run Alkaline server as a true daemon,
suppress all output; note that in this mode restarting the server is not possible
(you need to kill it explicitly). This option will not detach Alkaline under Windows NT. |
| mt=X (Maxthreads=X) |
Specify X as the maximum amount of threads in the search thread pool;
each thread executes a single search and will remain idle till a new search operation is requested.
A thread that was inactive for a certain amount of time will die. If more requests than the maximum number
of threads are made, they are queued and processed as a thread becomes available.
Default value is 100. |
| mi=X (Maxindexthreads=X) |
Specify X as the maximum amount of threads in the index thread pool;
each thread executes a single index operation and will remain idle till a new search operation is requested.
Default value is 10.
|
| ai=X (AcceptInterval=X) |
Specify X as the interval in milliseconds to sleep after each new connection is accepted.
Heavily flooded servers have seen stability greatly improved with this option and values around
200-300 ms. The operating system maintains a list of incoming connections that have not been accepted
yet. After accepting, Alkaline places the connection into a queue and a thread from the thread
pool will pickup the connection and service it. Accepting connections more often than what the server
can physically process will lead to a growing thread pool, more elements in the Alkaline's
service queue and overall worse performance.
Added 03-Jul-2000. Default value is 0.
|
| EnablePing |
Enable the self ping thread that makes sure that the engine is still running every 15 seconds.
If Alkaline dies, the ping thread will attempt to terminate the dead process.
Replaced DisablePing in 1.31.0907.0.
|
| EnableSwap[=filename] |
Enable the swap mechanism and use less physical memory. On a UNIX system, you can optionally specify a file name.
For more information about the swap, please consult the Alkaline Virtual Memory
and Swap
section.
This option replaced DisableSwap
on 04-Aug-2000.
