must be murphy's law

[Greg Fausak]

Keri,

I had some weird problems with indexing.
I found that if I run a script:

#!/bin/sh
# cleanup rwhois dictionary files
echo 'cleanup in process'
find . \( -name index\* -o -name local* -o -name \*.txt.\* \) -print  |\
        xargs rm -f
# rerun the indexing stuff
/usr/local/sbin/rwhois_indexer -v -s txt \
        -c /var/local/nettle/rwhois/rwhoisd.conf

Most of my problems went away.
Be careful with this!  Be in the root rwhois directory before
running....it does erase stuff !!!!

: Well, I'm back at it again. I've been able to get a script that puts in
: all the data I need into the various files, checked and double checked..
: I'm comparing the a.com/net-10.0.0.0-8 files with my own files, and I
: can't see any difference in them.
:
: One problem is, my organizational info is coming up blank, along with
: basically ANYTHING in my domain.
:
: ./bin/rwhois_indexer -i -v -s .txt hasn't worked...
:
: web-ink: {272} % ./bin/rwhois_indexer -C organization -i -v -s .txt
: done.

:
: The only difference between the a.com info and harvard.net files is the
: basics, address, phone number. etc.
:
: I'm stuck on this one big time, and I've tried practically everything.
:
: Anyone able to give a little insight? I'm testing out the responses on the
: rwhois.net remote deal (Since that's what my boss will be checking)
:
: plug in rwhois.web-ink.com and the 204.152.42.0 ip address to see..
