NAME

og_mirror - Replicate an OpenGuides site

SYNOPSIS

  og_mirror --site http://from.site.url/ --config /path/to/wiki.conf [--days 1] [--scrape]

DESCRIPTION

This is a script to mirror the contents from another OpenGuides website. It can be run from a cron job to update periodically.

To initially load the wiki, run the script without the --days option. Then, the script can be run periodically with the --days option, to keep the site in line.

--config | -c

--days | -d

Number of days back to look at in the RSS feed. Omit this option to work in "hoover" mode.
