[Dxspider-support] Auto updating Keplerian elements.

[George Lloyd]

Has anyone managed to get this to work in RedHat?

I've put it in the crontab /spider/local_cmd file but it does not 
appear to do anything. If I run the same commands from the command 
line it puts a blank file called amateur.txt  in the perl directory 
and the full file amateur.txt in which ever directory I run the command from.

Then if I run the second line from the command line after copying 
amateur.txt to the perl directory it sends the Keps.pm to /spider/local.

If I then copy Keps.pm to the perl directory and run load/keps from 
the spider console it comes back and says it has completed but it's 
done nothing.

I must confess my knowledge of Linux is very limited so I may be 
doing something wrong.
