Hi,

is it possible to um... like say 'pause' the indexing process?
as example i run the spider.php per cron...
it should start then, and phpdig stops the process after as example 4 hours and if i run the cron again it should restart at the page it stopped

thx charter for your wasted time ;)

Hi. If PhpDig is stopped prematurely, there may be info left in the tempspider table, and this info should be picked up in the next index cycle.

Hi. Not sure of your OS but you might try this (http://www.ma.utexas.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?kill+1) command.

ok stop/continue works perfect ^^ (debian)

but how can i make a cron using it while the php process have an dynamic pid?
(i dont need to entirely kill the spider then and it can run as would nothing happen to it ):D

Hi. You might find this (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getmypid.php) function useful.
