<h3>Start the Crawler</h3>
It is best to run the crawler in a screen session so that you can monitor its output. You can have more than one crawler running as long as you keep them in separate directories, include a symlink to the same robots folder, and also set the correct parameters on each.
To view the parameters, type './cr -h'. Without any parameters set, you can only run one crawler (which is probably all you need anyway).

Make sure the robots folder exists. robots.txt files are stored in the robots folder and are downloaded once and then referenced from that folder on future updates. Clear this folder every few weeks to ensure robots.txt files get refreshed from time to time.
Make sure the robots folder exists. All robots.txt files are stored in the robots folder. They are downloaded once and then referenced from that folder on future updates. Clear this folder every few weeks to ensure robots.txt files get refreshed from time to time.
You can turn off checking for robots.txt files by commenting out the line calling the "checkrobots" function inside of cr.c.
