<br>
I suspect it would help many people if I was more consistent about
announcing new versions. I gave up on this many years ago, as only
a very small proportion of sysops ever took any notice. To those
that do: thank you. <br>
<br>
And I am in the process of doing more development at the moment,
so it might be worth sysops keeping a weather eye on the repo for
the next couple of weeks.<br>

Whilst this will do an update, it doesn't actually cause the running
image to change. To do that you will need to restart it. Of course,
if I make an incompatible change, the software may crash and restart
automatically :-) I'm not certain how to fix this in a way that only
restarts if a new version is available. It's further complicated by
the fact that if the only changes are in commands (/spider/cmd/*)
then no restart is required - as these are picked up automagically.
<br>
<br>
Also, much as I would like sysops to keep up with the bleeding edge
that is mojo (or these days, more like oozing intermittently and
gently), I would suggest that once a week, in the middle of the
night and on a week day, and not Wednesday morning ('cos something
important happens then) this might be better:<br>
<br>
<span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">16
4 * * 1 spawn("cd /spider; git reset --hard; git pull")</span><br>
20 4 * * 1 run_cmd('shutdown')<br>
<br>
PLEASE don't all copy'n'paste this, choose your own day (1,2,4,5)
and own time (not 4:16 as shown) otherwise the whole cluster will
all restart at once. Won't stop it working (not for long anyway), it
will just be rather user hostile (oh wait...).<br>

I'm not sure where wpxloc.dat crept in. I have never used it and it
isn't part of the git repository. Please don't download it and/or
get confused.<br>
