Rebuild Spotlight Index By SW is a command-line package
that, when installed, runs a series of scripts to rebuild
Spotlight's Search Index.
So why develop this package?
Unlike a standalone utility, RS is a payload-free package.
Which means, there really is
no
application; just a series of commands that are run.
Thus, it can be used in conjunction with technologies such
as:
Apple Remote Desktop
Timbuktu
Telnet/SSH
Netboot
Netinstall
So you can run this utility on several thousand machines
simultaneously....even remotely!
This could save lots of time if you wanted to perform this
maintenance without going to yet-another mac and running
yet-another copy of yet another utility.
