[Dxspider-support] DXSpider crontabs in general

[Steve Carroll - AA4U]

Jim,

The filename is: *usdb.v1* created in the */spider/data *subdirectory.

Your original example (below) shows you executed *create_usdb.pl* in the 
//spider/ subdirectory. I recommend trying the example I sent using 
//spider/data/.

73, Steve - AA4U
