[Dxspider-support] Network Update

[Kin]

Hi Joseph,

 

I'm glad my script was of use to you, although I'm still an apprentice hihihi

I have been asked to automate a script to return to the previous build, in case of problems. Although it is very simple and has been explained in this thread several times, as soon as I have a little time I will do it.

Although there really wouldn't be a need to make a backup because going back to the last commit isn't traumatic, I'll implement it in the current script and let the sysop decide whether or not to make a backup.

 

Regards,

 

Kin

Kin,

 

Thanks for the script.  It seems like a great method to keep the node updated.  But it makes me wonder if it wouldn’t be worthwhile to incorporate a backup so if things went badly you could restore from the backup.  It would only be relevant on Linux systems, but as an IT Systems Administrator it saved me more than once on production systems.  Actually it was VMware and I snapshotted it before the upgrade. But you see what I am saying.

 

Great work at addressing an important issue.  

 

73,

HAHAHAHAHA

 

I should have put something more rational in the crontab :(

 

By the way, I suppose you've downloaded the last modification of the dropbox url script that I posted?

 

If you want, you can run the check or check_build command from console.pl (previously remember to do load/cmd the first time), so it runs on demand without waiting for the crontab.

 

Good weekend.

It has to run in the DXSpider environment. It calls functions from the spider itself, so in the header of the script it puts:

 

# Check if there is a new build. Download and install.

# 

# Copy to: /spider/local_cmd/check_build.pl

#

# Include the following line in the crontab (DXSpider):

# 0 * * * * run_cmd("check_build")

 

It must be launched from the crontab itself or from console.pl. (previous load/cmd)

I will only do the new build checking from Monday to Friday otherwise next time at the club meeting I won't get a drink any more from my fellow weekends contesters. 😁

5 5 * * 1,2,3,4,5 run_cmd("check_build")
