Smart Cache loader is controlled by Program configuration file, Chapter 3 and command line options. The best way is to define named sites in configuration file and refer to them by aliases on command line.
When loader sees URL on commandline, it looks into configuration file and checks if URL is part of known location. If none location matches, it configures URL with default options from configuration file (they have default in the front; DefaultActions, DefaultMask, ...).
You can redefine default location options by command-line syntax: name=value. Name is the same as used in configuration file.
Currently implemented names are: scandepth, threads, retry, retrypriority, options, priority, alias, starturl, log, upd, referer.
Options follows Unix - like syntax. There are starting with `-` character, folowed by character.
Configure all URLs as default, unless they have #sitename appended.
File contents can be expanded and used as command-line arguments. This is done by: @<filename> syntax.
Program can use other configuration file than default. This is done by: #<filename> syntax.
You can add any URL to command-line. Program will search known locations in config file and if given URL belongs to known location it will inherit its settings; otherwise it will use settings for default location. Program will always create new location which is set to directory of specified URL.
See subsections for special location setups.
You can add URL at command-line to list of already visited URLs. When loader sees this URL when processing others, it will not take any action because this URL is marked as already done.
This is done by: :<URL> syntax. You can use file expanding feature and add filename with visited URLs by: @:<filename>
You can force URL to use default configuration instead searching through list of known sites. This is done by: %<URL> syntax.
You can force URL to be used as another starting URL for its parent location. This is done by: ^<URL> syntax.
You can use alias (.cnf commmand name) instead of URL.
You can use URL#(location alias) to configure URL with setting of location alias.
