[Dxspider-support] Some examples. Very personal

By the way, I guess you remember that Dirk implemented a ‘download’ command two years ago.
You can make the substitution in this way:

spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN
can be replaced by this:
run_cmd('download 

In other words:

Before:
32 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit')
After:
32 * * * * run_cmd('download http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit')

Thanks Kin,
I’ll check if the issue is related to a specific firewall configuration on my side that might be blocking file downloads when interpreting the ftp:// protocol (in fact, wget uses port 21 when an ftp:// address is provided).
Sorry for the traffic :)

Both work without problem.
It only affects the server, it should not fail on the client.
I just verified on my Debian 12 that they both work exactly the same.

Thanks for the info Fulvio.

Dear All,
I believe this line is incorrect:
0 1 * * * spawn("cd /tmp; wget -qN ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz <http://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz> ; /spider/perl/create_usdb.pl <http://create_usdb.pl>  usdbraw.gz")

Here is the corrected version using http:// instead of ftp:// (at least on my Fedora 43):
0 1 * * * spawn("cd /tmp; wget -qN  <http://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz> http://ftp.w1nr.net/usdbraw.gz; /spider/perl/create_usdb.pl <http://create_usdb.pl>  usdbraw.gz")
Best regards,
HB9DHG Fulvio

Hi Kin,

Just looking over your file, did you mean to comment out "set/var $DXProt::senderverify 2"? I thought we were supposed to include this?

Also, does the "Download updates tools" section automatically update DXSpider to the latest version? If so, does it ever break and require a manual fix?

73,

Tony K1AX

Subject: [Dxspider-support] Some examples. Very personal 

I have received several direct enquiries about an ‘ideal’ configuration.
I get quite a few emails asking the same question, what better place for all of us to find out, than our support list. 

First, there is no magic or ideal configuration, every sysop can customise their spider to suit their needs, but I understand that it can be overwhelming with so many variables, so many messages.
What I can do is to share what I think should be in all nodes at least.

Let everyone modify it according to their needs:

set/register <partner_1>

Note: I recommend the same password on both nodes of the pair.

The rest I leave to the imagination of each one 😉
