[Dxspider-support] DXSpider crontabs in general

[Stephen Carroll]

Jim,

I'm assuming you've had the USDB running previously and just updating?

If you are manually executing commands in the terminal window, here's 
what I've been using for the past year:

*cd /spider/data*

*wget -qN ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz*

*/spider/perl/create_usdb.pl usdbraw.gz*

*rm usdbraw.gz*

Then login and type: *load/usdb*

I'm somewhat new to linux and currently working on automating this 
process in crontab with the help of this listserver.

73, Steve - AA4U
