continuous replication

Hi,

is it possible to explain:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Replication#Cancelling_a_continuous_replication_task
a bit more in detail; does

http://... "continuous":true, "cancel":true }
mean something like

stop -->  start

continuous replication (cr) or just

stop

a running cr process?
What happens if I trigger cr more than ones (e.g. every day without testing for already running cr) ?

Thank you
regards
wactbprot

with {"cancel": true} it will just stop.

If the filters/hosts/etc are the same then it has no effect. The old
replication continues.
I use scripts to ensure my CR is always running this way.
