[Dxspider-support] auto upload cty.dat

[Stephen Carroll]

Jan,

Several problems with your crontab:

1. No need to download "wpxloc.dat" it's not used in dxspider, only need
"wpxloc.raw"

2. Remove "#" from start of cty.dat line.

3. If needed use " ; " instead of " | " between commands.

4. Use  another " * " instead of "0,1,2,3,4,5,6" if running the command
every day.

5. Several builds ago, Dirk created a 'download' command. Read the
/spider/Changes file. I've replaced my  "spawn" and "wget" like this:

0 0 * * * run_cmd('download http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat
<https://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat>')
1 0 * * * run_cmd('download http://www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw
<https://www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw>')
2 0 * * * spawn('/spider/perl/create_prefix.pl')
3 0 * * * run_cmd('load/prefix')

Hope this helps.

73, Steve - AA4U
