I was about to start a new thread -- then I saw this one.
We have a problem that may be identical. In brief ... build-staggered does not build all the categories all the time. I have been doing repeated test for the last three weeks, just to satisfy myself that the error (if that is what it is) is not browser-related or caused by a server malfunction.
Our test database has 98 categories with 120 links -- in other words, it is tiny. My tests are simple -- here is the method ...
1. /usr/bin/touch /PATH_TO/.../directory/timeflag
2. Run build staggered from a browser.
3. /usr/bin/find ./ \! -newer timeflag -name "*.html" -print
If all categories have been built, step 3 should generate no results at all -- but on more than 90% of tests, there are at least some categories not built. Typically, the number of unbuilt categories is 5 or 6, but sometimes as many as 15 -- which is a high proportion of the total.
I cannot detect any pattern in the unbuilt categories, except that they tend to be categories at the end of each discreet build -- as though the browser refreshes before the server returns with all the page results.
Normal build-all seems to work as expected (though I haven't tested it). However, we are on a shared server and really want to use build-staggered. But in practice, it is not available.
Any thoughts GT?
