 * I’m using the plugin and it seems to work perfectly with WP 3.3.2
    As the reindex
   is triggered only when there is a page update, i want to set up a cron job on
   our server. I have tested the commandline but it does not seem to do anything:
 *     ```
       cd /var/www/site.com/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/sphider/admin/
       /usr/bin/php spider.php -u http://site.com/page5 -r -d 2
       ```
   
 * PHP seems to run the page but nothing is happening. Anyone else having this problem
   with the plugin version of Sphider?

 * Yes, looking for a way to automate reindexing using the WP + Sphider system.

 * Hi Russell Mann,
    Did you have any luck automating it in the meantime?
