[Dxspider-support] US Database not loaded

[Dirk Koopman]

When you say "can't" does that mean the node stops with an error? Or is 
it ineffective, i.e sh/usdb w1aw or somesuch returns an error message or 
no output?

In my (mojo branch only) crontab in /spider/local_cmd I have these lines:

31 3 * * 6 spawn('cd /tmp; wget -q ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz; 
/spider/perl/create_usdb.pl /tmp/usdbraw.gz; rm -f /tmp/usdbraw.gz')
35 3 * * 6 run_cmd('load/usdb')

I copy'n'pasted the line in the spawn command above into a spare shell 
window and after a few seconds got this:

$ cd /tmp; wget -q ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz; 
/spider/perl/create_usdb.pl /tmp/usdbraw.gz; rm -f /tmp/usdbraw.gz

1452902 records
$

Started up my dev node and got this:

09Oct2020 at 15:58:03 (*) DXSpider V1.57, build 338 (git: mojo/56526488[r])

and this in a console:

W1AW    -> Newington, CT

So, for me and for others it would appear to work.

Please check that you *don't* have a old /spider/data/usdb.v1 in 
/spider/data and that you *do* have a /spider/local_data directory and 
that the usdb.v1 is appoximately this big:

/spider/local_data$ ls -l usdb.v1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 djk djk 66289664 Oct  9 17:08 usdb.v1
