[Koha] Restarting Indexing -- Maybe Reindexing Altogether

[Stowasser Rainer]

Dear Charles

yes this makes a difference
then you where on of the early adopters ;-)

but the principle stays the same

> ps -aux | grep elasticsearch

check if the process is there

koha-elasticsearch --rebuild -d -v koha

you can find details for this on the wiki

or here
