- Okay, here's whatcha do:
-
- Say you have a directory /home/foo, you store your indexes in
- /home/foo/.index.
-
- That's cool, instead of doing this:
-
- waisindex -r /home/foo
-
- do this:
-
- waisindex -r /home/foo/*
-
- Most shells don't expand dot files when you give it a asterick to chew
- on.
