Right, I’ve spent two days with this and I’m now pulling out
what little hair I have left.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve built a new cluster and I’m trying to get (to start
with), my FCC database updated via crontab.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve added sysop into the SUDO group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m running a Raspberry Pi with DXSpider v1.57 (build 451).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m logged onto the Pi as sysop, then I’ve done a sudo su
because otherwise I can’t write to /spider/local_cmd</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My crontab file is thus:</div>

<div><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures">The
first line of getting the FCC data partly works. cd /tmp

owner).</span></div>

</span></div>
<div>To me, this looks like a permissions/ownership thing but
I’ve tried so many things today and yesterday that I’ve kinda
lost the will to live.</div>

<div><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures">I
also have stuff in crontab to update keps and cty.dat which
don’t work either but I reckon that if I can get this one
working, the others will work as well.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures">I’m
quite sure this is going to be something simple but I’ve
stared at it for so long now that I need to refer to Dirk’s
list of pre-reqs for the mojo upgrade, ie a</span> supply of
good, strong tea - preferably in pint mugs. A tin hat, stout
boots, a rucksack with survival rations and a decent miners'
lamp might also prove comforting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please, can someone point me in the right direction.</div>
