Mike       here is the way I do it

             tom      wb8zrl



#!/bin/bash
#
# a command shell to load the usdb database.  This requires
#   obtaining the US data in usdbraw.gz from W1NR.
#
#  get usdbraw.gz
/usr/bin/wget  -o /dev/null -T 120 -P /home/sysop/usdb http://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz
# now gunzip usdb
/bin/gunzip /home/sysop/usdb/usdbraw.gz
# now remove the old, and create the new usdb db
/bin/rm -f /spider/data/usdb.v1
/usr/bin/perl /spider/perl/create_usdb.pl /home/sysop/usdb/usdbraw >/dev/null
# now load new usdb
/bin/echo "load/usdb" >/spider/tmp/wb8zrl
/bin/mv /spider/tmp/wb8zrl /spider/cmd_import
