[Dxspider-support] Prefix data update automation.

[Bastien F4EYQ]

Hello to all,

I've write this script for data update, it run every week via a cron and 
do the job.

My question is :  is there any other method to reload the dxspider ?
i'm using this  :

#restart dxspider :
PID=$(cat /spider/local/cluster.lck);
kill -KILL $PID;
rm -f /spider/local/cluster.lck
/bin/su - sysop -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl" > 
/dev/tty7 &
