Two thoughts. If you are in the migration_tools directory you have to execute ./rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z The migration_tools directory is not in your search path. You should have KOHA_CONF=/path/to/koha-conf.xml PERL5LIB=/path/to/koha/bin (probably /home/koha/kohaclone/bin in your case) On 12/16/2010 10:58 AM, Fogg, Shawn (DPH) wrote:

Hi,

I need a little basic help with crontab and re-indexing the database.

I am using one of the pre-build virtual machines with v3.03.00.004. I SSH into the system using the koha user.

When in that user I can run:

/home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z

and it will properly reindex the database so that new catalog entries will show up.

If I do:

crontab -l

in the list I have an entry of:

*/10 * * * * /home/koha/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z >/dev/null

Which I believe should re-index the database every 10 minutes. This isn't occurring though and I have not been able to figure out why.

I don't know if it means anything but the rebuild_zebra is a little funny. If I move into the migration_tools directory I can't simply run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z. It comes back with command not found. The only way I can run it is using the fully qualified path.

Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
