[Dxspider-support] auto upload cty.dat

[Keith Maton]

Mine is very similar to Steve, except I use quotes rather than apostrophes and I cd into local_data before I run create_prefix.  It all works so I assume “ and ‘ are handled the same.

00 05 * * * run_cmd("download http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat")
01 05 * * * run_cmd("download http://www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw")
02 05 * * * spawn("cd /spider/local_data ; /spider/perl/create_prefix.pl")
03 05 * * * run_cmd("load/prefix”)
