NAME
installwatch -- Track installation of software SYNOPSIS
installwatch [options] [command] DESCRIPTION
installwatch is a program that is used in order to track the changes made while installing local software (i.e. "make install"). It moni- tors the requested command, and produces a log which indicates all created and modified files. By default it outputs to syslog(3) using a priority of "LOG_USER | LOG_INFO". This may be overridden by the use of the -o flag. The log format is as follows: <return-value> <syscall-name> <argument> #<comment> Each field is delimited by a "^I" character if logging to syslog(3), or by a tab when logging to a file. ENVIRONMENT
INSTALLWATCH_BACKUP_PATH Set this variable to the location that you want installwatch to copy the original version of files which get modified. The direc- tory will be created if it does not exist, assuming that the parent is writable. OPTIONS
These program follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -o --logfile Directs that output from the logged command be written to the filename specified. If the specified file already exists, it will be truncated. -r --root Sets the directory under which meta-info and translated files will be stored. -t --trans Toggle translation capabilities. -e --exclude Sets a comma separated neutral directory list, that won't be concerned by translation or backups. -d --dbgfile Specify a debug file. -v --dbglvl Sets the debug level to be used. -h --help Show help information. BUGS
installwatch does not work with programs which are statically linked with libc. Due to LD_PRELOAD limitations, it does not work with suid programs (this would probably introduce security problems, anyway). mknod(2) is not monitored. AUTHOR

NAME
indexer -- fulltext index generator SYNOPSIS
indexer [--config CONFIGFILE] [--rotate] [--noprogress | --quiet ] [--all | INDEX ... ] indexer --buildstops OUTPUTFILE COUNT [--config CONFIGFILE] [--noprogress | --quiet ] [--all | INDEX ... ] indexer --merge MAIN_INDEX DELTA_INDEX [--config CONFIGFILE] [--rotate] [--noprogress | --quiet ] DESCRIPTION
Sphinx is a collection of programs that aim to provide high quality fulltext search. indexer fetches all documents from the configured sources and creates the index data files. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has docu- mentation in HTML format, see below. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the HTML documentation. --config Specify an alternate configuration file to use. --all Causes indexer to (re-)index all indexes, instead of the specified ones. --quiet Suppress all non-error output. --noprogress Suppress progress information. -h --help Show summary of options. --rotate Writes index data files as INDEX.new files and sends a SIGHUP to searchd, causing it to rotate the index files. SEE ALSO
search (1), searchd (1). Sphinx and it's programs are documented fully by the Spinx reference manual available in /usr/share/doc/sphinxsearch. AUTHOR
