-If you skip "-rebuild", web-archive will run in incremental mode, i.e. what is 
used in the cron job. Note: rebuilding archives can be time-consuming 
(depending on how many years you have to import ;)). Best to run the build 
through GNU screen, or redirect the output.
-
-Mailman (and its private mailing lists) behaves differently. The command 
'~mailman/bin/arch --wipe' will regenerate list archives from a given mbox file 
(in the standard mailman location by default).
-
 ~mharc/bin/web-archive -rebuild $listname $listname2 ... >/tmp/out

If you skip "-rebuild", web-archive will run in incremental mode, i.e., what is 
used in the cron job. Rebuilding archives can be time-consuming (depending on 
how many years you have to import!). Best to redirect the output as shown 
above, or whatever.


**Private mailing lists**

Mailman, for archives of private mailing lists, behaves differently. The 
command '~mailman/bin/arch --wipe' will regenerate list archives from a given 
mbox file (in the standard mailman location by default).
