[Dxspider-support] [sysops] Temp Files..

[Howard Leadmon]

   You know, maybe I made this sucker, I have been running DXspider that 
long, I honestly don't remember.


  Here is what is in the script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Crontab script for DXSpider to verify it's running under FreeBSD
# by WB3FFV
#

###############################################################
# CONFIGURATION - Set paths to DXSpider Software              #
###############################################################

# Set to DXSpider root directory
DXSPATH=/usr/local/spider/

# Name of the pid file
DXSPIDF=/usr/local/spider/local/cluster.lck

# Name of the executable
DXSPROG=perl/cluster.pl

# Name of process to look for
DXSSRCH=cluster

# Parameters to pass to the executable
DXSARGS=""
#DXSARGS="-debug"

###############################################################
#                 DON'T EDIT ANYTHING BELOW                   #
###############################################################

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

DXSPID=

cd $DXSPATH

if [ -f $DXSPIDF ]
then
         DXSPID=`cat $DXSPIDF`
         if [ `ps ax| grep $DXSSRCH | grep $DXSPID | grep -v -c grep` = 1 ]
         then
                 exit
         fi
         rm -f $DXSPIDF
fi

./$DXSPROG $DXSARGS


  Maybe I will just do the redirect in the script, as it's served me 
well for years, till you drop all of that from stdout..

73's...
