     <para>Another environment variable, 
1364
        <envar>RECOLL_ACTIVE_EXTRA_DBS</envar> allows adding to the active
1365
        list of indexes. This variable was suggested and implemented by a
1366
        &RCL; user. It is mostly useful if you use scripts to mount
1367
        external volumes with &RCL; indexes. By using
1368
        <envar>RECOLL_EXTRA_DBS</envar> and
1369
        <envar>RECOLL_ACTIVE_EXTRA_DBS</envar>, you can add and activate
1370
        the index for the mounted volume when starting
1371
        <command>recoll</command>.

1376
        update so that <command>recoll</command> will
1377
        automatically deactivate unreachable indexes when starting

        up.</para>
