Hello Steven,
Looking for some advice and recommendations. For a fairly small library
running Koha 3.12.00.000 from the Debian squeeze packages, how often should the zebra_rebuild.pl script be executed and with exactly which switches? Right now I run it at 7:30 AM each morning with "-run-as-root -b -r -v"
I am quite surprised you need to do that since you say you installed from Debian packages. All the installations I have done through the Debian packages always have the zebra incremental indexing properly set in cron and it is usually set to run every 5 minutes. You can check your cron settings to make sure that this is properly set and enabled to run regularly. I don't think you need to run it manually. That is as per my own experience.
