<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although I know that it is not difficult to
update or upgrade DXSpider, and thinking of those sysops that
do not dare to update in case they have problems and their
node is out of service, I decided to write a script to
automate the update.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This script is written in Bash and is based
on Yiannis SV5FRI's idea and code in his install script for
the Mojo version.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The script, before updating, will make a
backup copy of the spider installation that is running at that
moment, in case problems arise and you want to go back to the
initial version.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then it will perform an update or upgrade,
depending on whether the node is in Master or Mojo version,
leaving the installation in the latest build of the Mojo
branch.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The configuration and database files are
maintained, although it will be requested to re-enter the
basic data of the node: callsign, sysop, qth, ...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is also the possibility to start a
new database.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I've done a lot of tests, not all possible
because I don't have a wide variety of versions/installations,
because the request I made to the sysop community was
devastating, no sysop sent anything. For this reason, I cannot
guarantee the success of all the updates, but since we have
the possibility of restoring the backup, there should not be
any problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If any of you get to try it, I would
appreciate your comments, as well as information regarding the
initial version, its OS, ... for monitoring and improvement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can download it like this:<o:p></o:p></p>

-O dxspider_update.zip<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope it can help encourage the sysops
community to keep the Net updated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to thank Yiannis, SV5FRI for his
collaboration.<o:p></o:p></p>
