[Dxspider-support] The 'perfect' cron list

Thu Mar 2 20:04:33 GMT 2023

Probably not ‘perfect’ but this works for me.

# Set so that all crontab entries are performed in LOCAL time, not UTC
LOCALE = LOCAL
#
# Remote node links
xxx removed because we all have different ones

# Check the skimmer connection every minute and reconnect if needed.
* * * * * start_connect('sk0mmr') unless connected('sk0mmr')
* * * * * start_connect('sk1mmr') unless connected('sk1mmr')

# Update mrtg every five minutes
00,05,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * run_cmd('mrtg all')

# Update the badip tables every hour
38 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit')
38 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torrelay')
38 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.global')
39 * * * * run_cmd('load/badip')

# Daily at 04:00 - Automatically tidy up old log files.
# debug log management is controlled via spider and via a line in startup.
02 4 * * * spawn(q[find /spider/local_data/spots -type f -mmin +44640 -exec rm -f {} \;])
01 4 * * * spawn(q[find /spider/local_data/log -type f -mmin +10080 -exec rm -f {} \;])
03 4 * * * spawn(q[find /spider/local_data/wcy -type f -mmin +1440 -exec rm -f {} \;])
04 4 * * * spawn(q[find /spider/local_data/wwv -type f -mmin +1440 -exec rm -f {} \;])

# Daily at 05:00 - Get latest cty.dat
00 05 * * * spawn("cd /spider/local_data ; rm cty.old ; mv cty.dat cty.old ; wget -qN http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat")
02 05 * * * spawn("cd /spider/local_data ; rm wpxloc.old ; mv wpxloc.raw wpxloc.old ; wget -qN http://www.country-files.com/cty/wpxloc.raw")
04 05 * * * spawn("cd /spider/local_data ; /spider/perl/create_prefix.pl")
10 05 * * * run_cmd("load/prefixes")

# Daily at 08:00 - Get latest Keps (I doubt anyone uses these but it's good to be up to date)
02 08 * * * spawn("cd /tmp ; wget -qN http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt ; /spider/perl/convkeps.pl -p nasabare.txt")
04 08 * * * run_cmd("load/keps")
06 08 * * * spawn("rm /tmp/nasabare.txt")

# Check for updates on weekdays at 23:42.  Do not update at weekends.  Update the updater first 
40 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5 spawn('cd /spider/local_cmd; wget -qN https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/main/check_build.pl')
41 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5 run_cmd('load/cmd')
42 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5 run_cmd("check_build Y")

# Monday 23:10 - Get latest FCC data
10 23 * * 1 spawn("cd /tmp ; wget -qN ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz ; /spider/perl/create_usdb.pl usdbraw.gz")
15 23 * * 1 run_cmd("load/usdb")
