tracker-miner-fs(1) User Commands tracker-miner-fs(1)NAMEtracker-miner-fs - Used to crawl the file system to mine data.
SYNOPSIStracker-miner-fs [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTIONtracker-miner-fs is not supposed to be run by the user since it is
started by its .desktop file when the user logs in. It can also be
started manually of course for debugging purposes. You can not run more
than one instance of this at the same time.
tracker-miner-fs mines information about applications and files only.
OPTIONS
-?, --help
Show summary of options.
-V, --version
Returns the version of this binary.
-v, --verbosity={0|1|2|3}
Sets the logging level, 0=errors, 1=minimal, 2=detailed,
3=debug.
-s, --initial-sleep=SECONDS
Sets the initial sleep time before crawling the file system is
started. If the --no-daemon option is used, this option is
ignored.
-n, --no-daemon
Tells the miner to exit once all indexing has finished and the
database is up to date. This is not the default mode of opera‐
tion for the miner, usually it stays around acting like a daemon
to monitor file updates which may occur over time. This option
renders the --initial-sleep option moot.
-e, --eligible=FILE
Checks if FILE is eligible for being mined based on the current
configuration rules. In addition to this, it will check if FILE
would be monitored for changes. This works with non-existing
FILE arguments as well as existing FILE arguments.
-d, --disable-miner=MINER
Tells the daemon to disable the in-house miners it supports.
Depending on build options, this can be 'Files', 'Applications'
and 'Userguides'. This option can be provided more than once to
diasable multiple miners. Disable in this case means the miner
is not started, though all miners still register themselves on
D-Bus and appear there, no actual action is performed otherwise
(such as crawling, setting up monitors, or checking mtimes
against the file system).
ENVIRONMENT
TRACKER_USE_LOG_FILES
Don't just log to stdout and stderr, but to log files too which
are kept in $HOME/.local/share/tracker/. This came into effect
in 0.15.3 and 0.16.0. After this version of Tracker, logging to
file (usually useful for debugging) can only be done by declar‐
ing this environment variable.
TRACKER_USE_CONFIG_FILES
Don't use GSettings, instead use a config file similar to how
settings were saved in 0.10.x. That is, a file which is much
like an .ini file. These are saved to $HOME/.config/tracker/
