7. General Information

+ +

The following relates to all versions of DXSpider and is not platform related.

+ +

7.1 The crontab file +

+ +

Login as sysop and create a file in /spider/local_cmd called crontab. +Edit it with your favourite editor and add a line like this (I have included +a comment)

+

+

+
+# check every 10 minutes to see if gb7xxx is connected and if not
+# start a connect job going
+
+0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * start_connect('gb7xxx') unless connected('gb7xxx')
+
+
+

+ +

The callsign involved will be the callsign of the cluster node you are +going to connect to. This will now check every 10 minutes to see if +gb7xxx is connected, if it is then nothing will be done. If it is not, +then a connect attempt will be started.

+ +

There are probably lots of other things you could use this crontab file for. +If you want to know more about it, look at the +DXSpider website +at the cron page where it is explained more fully.
