I really really need to be able to automatically recalculate a web
every night so that scheduled include pages show up & disappear when
they're supposed to.

I've found the documentation that says that all I need to do is a
command as follows:

owsadm.exe -o recalc -p 80 -w webname

Looks easy, huh? NOT!

I've learned that actually, the command line needs to start out:
"c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server
extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o recalc -p 80
and I've figured out what to put next to recalculate webs on my pc.
But now I want to recalculate
http://www.christchurchcincinnati.org/tellstory
which is out there on the web
and then that's when I boggle...now what do I put next?

If I put -w http://www.christchurchcincinnati.org/tellstory
that doesn't work.
If I put -d http://www.christchurchcincinnati.org/tellstory
that doesn't work.
If I put -d http://www.christchurchcincinnati.org -w /tellstory
that doesn't work.

Help?

For what it's worth I don't think that daily recalcs of STS are a good idea
no matter how they are done.

As far as I'm concerned every recalc is taking a risk and therefore I do
them only when forced to because there *are* sync problems between the
database and the file system - certainly not *in case* there are problems.

Oh, yes, I should mention that I know I need to put
-username xxxx -password yyy
on that command as well.

Here's yet another try that didn't work:
"c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server
extensions\50\bin\owsadm.exe" -o recalc -p 80 -m
www.christchurchcincinnati.org -w /tellstory

Mike......

I'm not doing a recalc to fix a problem, I'm doing a recalc to make
Frontpage work the way it is advertised to work. I make extensive use of
scheduled includes. The idea is that I don't have to go to the site every
day to change the content, I can set things up in advance and then leave
town or do something else besides mess with this web site. But in order for
those scheduled includes to work, one must recalc the web site. I guess I
could keep track of when my scheduled includes are going to happen, and then
schedule recalcs only when needed, but I'd still need a way to schedule a
recalc that doesn't require me to be near my pc.

Any ideas?

Ken
