Indexing question (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

One of my clients has been having indexing problems and I have been researching the use of the index server. I have seen discussions of using routines to start an index server using turnindexeron and off, tried them and they work great. I have also seen information about using a shortcut to start the index server where the /I APPNAME parm was added after the oengine.exe target of a shortcut.
My question is, if the /I APPNAME is added as a parm after the oinsight.exe in a shortcut, does that do anything to turn indexing on? I added this to the shortcut target. Now the indexes seem to be updating just fine whereas before this addition, they would not get refreshed unless I manually rebuilt them or added an Update_Index call during a specific record add process.
Can anyone comment on this as an option for index updating?

To my knowledge, the "/I APPNAME" command line parameter does not apply to OINSIGHT.EXE. I have only known it to work with OENGINE.EXE.
If you really want in index server solution then using OENGINE.EXE in a shortcut is probably the easiest way to go. If you are simply trying to resolve getting your indexes updated during the idle time of your workstations then make sure the Delay before Indexing setting is set to a value greater than 0.
