In AK1A I use the hourly.cmd to give a ann to all users exactly at the hour.
In hourly.cmd  I have  :  ann CLUSTER ON0DXK JO10PV
This is what I want to do in the crontab.

Yes,I understand now .I was confused  to see the word "input" and not "output"  but this works ok
now,TNX !

Ok,I had already found out the "rm" way to remove the filters.
I noticed also when changing filters on a connected node spider may crash but this is not a problem
if we know hi ...

Sorry Dirk , if I am the only one having problems with the filters but I have an other problem
with the spot filtering.I think I need a manuel for dummys hi !
For testpurposes I have a link with pi5ehv-8.
Just as a test I want to refuse all wordwide spots from pi5ehv-8.
I do: acc/ann pi5ehv-8 input by_zone_14,15,16
sh/filter pi5ehv-8  shows :  PI5EHV-8 spots input
                                          filter1 accept by_zone 14,15,16
As user ON6HH I still receive the WW spots !
I need to set my own filter the same way and then it works.
Is this normal ?
I will need also to prevent ww-spots to be send to db0spc-8.
Is this ok :  acc/spots db0spc-8 by_zone 14,15,16  ???

Thanks before hand
