Ah, finally, someone who's running a similar task. I can see that the system is
constantly connecting to a good dozen systems or so and pulling down what ever
it's indexing. I know it's alive and I can also see that the drive space is
constantly on the rise so it's not being slow about it that I can tell?

I'm running on RedHat 7.2 myself, with the dual 350Mhz CPU's and 8GB's of memory
as I mentioned. The system seems to be handing everything ok, the load is not
very high or anything but it's been running non stop for over two weeks now.

I think I started the process from the console and left it there. I've been
monitoring the system from an SSH login. My point is, I can't quit the session
unless I hit CTL-C or is there some other way, from another login?

I know it's into the millions of pages because there is constantly a queue of
between 1.2 and 1.5 million pages. It's already into 45GB's of drive space usage
now. I'm indexing 10028 sites, not pages but I notice you also said you are
indexing 9000+ *sites*. I had assumed that the drive usage would be pretty normal
for the number of sites that I'm indexing.

I'll check this out.

Invaluable, thanks very much for your help.
