"reconstruct -r" usage

[John Conant]

Hi,

         Sort of a side note - we started having trouble like that.  Turned 
out that our overnight antivirus scan of the mail store would find a virus, 
and quarantine (move!) the infected file, thus messing up the Cyrus 
indexing.  Now we schedule a system-wide reconstruct after the virus scan, 
which seems to work.

         Back to the main topic, our cron entry (Red Hat Linux) is:

   su - cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -r user > /dev/null"

and the "-r" does seem to work for us!

                                                 John
