[Dxspider-support] Pipe´ing spider output into a database?

[Bela Markus]

Hi Luiz,

in the spider/perl directory there is a file, Local.pm copy this to 
spider/local and take a look, there are 'hooks' to catch spot, www, wcy, 
any incoming cluster message, etc. You can add your own code there 
without diging into the source code.

I am using it to call an external PYTHON program to store spots in a 
MySQL table and process them by another program to generate SMS/email 
alerts when 2m Es opens to Hungary.

If you are interested, I can give you the modified Local.pm and the 
PYTHON program.

Regards... Bela, HA5DI
