NAME

check_xapian - Checks that Xapian is successfully indexing eprint items.

SYNOPSIS

check_xapian repository_id [options]

DESCRIPTION

This script checks that eprint items have successfully been indexed by Xapian. It does this my using "/usr/bin/quest" to search the Xapian database filesystem for the title of the particular item. This requires the 'xapian-tools' package to be installed. If the title does not contain any special characters or quote marks it will attempt to search for the title within quote marks. If this is not the case or this returns no matching results, it will search for all the terms in the title in an attempt to find a result. The script will print a success message to the standard output if a result with the correct EPrint ID is returned othewise it will print a failure message to the standard error. A summary message will be printed before the script exits totalling the number of items found not to be indexed.
