No, I am simply running "httrack --update" in the working 
directory. If I do that, attempting to reuse the settings 
from the hts-cache directory, is when it does not work. 
Actually issuing the %L command line parameter as you did 
DOES work.

I wanted to setup a profile with WinHTTrack, then be able 
to schedule the updating of the site to run from the 
command line. Running httrack --update is how I thought I 
should do that.

Also, a related note is that repeated running httrack --
update seems to keep adding -iC2 to the doit.log file. You 
get one -iC2 for each time you run the program.
