# run-splitter(8)

Helper script for starting splitter programs

## NAME

Usage: run-splitter - Helper script for starting splitter programs

## SYNOPSIS

**run-splitter** \[**-k**,**--hup**\] \[**-s**,**--split**\] \[**-h**,**--help**\]

## DESCRIPTION

**run-splitter** is a helper shell script that does some of the things you need to do to get **mnoGoSearch** cachemode to work.  Each option turns a step on or off. There is no need to run this script if you are not using cachemode.

If  **run-splitter** is run with the **-k** flag, it first sends a *HUP* signal to the  **cachelogd** process.

Next if the **-s** option is given, **run-splitter** then runs a **splitter** process.  If this process returns successfully,  **run-splitter** deletes the old log files.

In most cases, the **run-splitter** script is run with both **-k** and **-s** options. **run-splitter** is generally run after the **indexer** process.

## OPTIONS

- **-k**, **--hup**

  Send **-HUP** signal to cachelogd

- **-s**, **--split**

  Split the logs by running the **splitter** program.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Display help.
