[LON-CAPA-admin] Multi-domain

[Stuart Raeburn]

Hon Kie,

/etc/cron.d/loncapa runs searchcat.pl every other day.

10 1 * * 2,4,6    www    /home/httpd/perl/searchcat.pl

This script rebuilds the allusers table in the MySQL database (amongst  
other things).

This same script is also run when LON-CAPA is installed or updated  
(via ./UPDATE) - (UPDATE contains make run_searchcat, and  
run_searchcat target causes the following to execute:

cat $(SOURCE)/doc/loncapafiles/run_searchcat.piml)
