SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This Perl program runs mkinv.pl in the background to re-generate the ROADS database index. It is intended for use when new templates have been added manually to the database, the database contents have been altered manually, or the index is suspected to be corrupt - and for reindexing the database after a bulk upload of new templates.

An HTML form is generated, and the user is given the choice of either re-indexing the entire database, or just nominated records.
