[Koha] How frequently to run zebra rebuild and what switches

[Steven Nickerson]

Thanks for the reply, but I'm 99% sure it was NOT there by default.   Can
someone tell me what the "default" crontab entry for rebuild_zebra.pl is,
and maybe what ALL of the default crontab entries are/should be?   Now I'm
concerned I'm missing more than just the rebuild_zebra one.

Steve

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.
