<font face="monospace">Kin, thanks that works beautifully in spider
console, but </font><font face="monospace"><font face="monospace">I
tried in spidercron with several iterations and was unable to
get better than an 'Invalid command' message in the text file.
If I am able to get it to function in spidercron it does has
potential. </font>I was trying to get it from the command line
as an external functions as in the past. Either way will be good
in the end. I'm open for suggestions.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier

work, but I get an error message from Prefix.PM<br>
<br>
(*) Spot::init - reading in 2 days of spots into cache<br>
Can't call method "get" on an undefined value at
/spider/perl/Prefix.pm line 216<br>
, <GEN1> line 1.<br>
<br>
This did work on a vintage node. I directed the output to
text files with periodic crontab updates. I suspect that
the innumerable changes in Prefix.pm to accommodate the
crazy callsigns causes this blip. Is there a ready way to
do this? Or a simple tweak in the code to assign a default
value?<br>
<br>
Used to work like below. I do have really the old node
running just to collect these spots and in a hurry to pull
the plug. Is there a new, ready to go, way to do this?<br>
