[ic] Still can't make .gdmb files from .txt files

[interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com (Rick Bragg)]

I changed some variables in variable.txt, and nothing worked.

I have to make variable.gdbm from the text file in order for my changes 
to take affect in the catalog.

I have restarted the main server, but this did not do it.

How do I do this from the command line? (I can't use the admin 
interface) I only have access to the shell.

Thanks
Rick
