Running squatter indexes the text of all the messages in a particular
mailbox, and creates an index file in that mailbox that Cyrus will use
if the mail client makes a SEARCH request. When a user tries to search
through the content of their messages for a particular string, if
squatter has been run on that mailbox recently, it will be much, much
faster.
I run squatter nightly. As far as I know, if squatter fails on a
mailbox, that generally just means that searches won't be able to use
the index for that mailbox, and they will be slower than they would
otherwise.
Thanks for clearing thigns for me. I currently have (the most common
suggestion
found on web):
squatter cmd="squatter -r user" period=1440
Which gives one run daily. But I like the idea of running it
explicitly during
night more. And the "-s" option looks usefull too (to skip inactive
mailboxes). I guess all I need is to change this to:
squatter cmd="squatter -rs user" at=0100
Right?
