[arm-allstar] astdb.txt daily build question

[Doug Crompton]

Brad,

 I thought I had answered this before but maybe not.   astdb.pl is located
in /usr/local/sbin    It is a script that you could modify but understand
it is not a protected script. If you want to modify it in any way you will
need to copy it to a new file name. This file in hamvoip is called by a
cron - which can be viewed with the command  cronttab -l   Here is how it
reads -

15 03 * * * cd /usr/local/sbin; ./astdb.php cron

It simply calls the update everyday at 3:15 AM.  The "cron" parameter also
tells the script to stagger the actual downloading of the data randomly.
The script downloads the data and also the private nodes  info located in
/etc/asterisk/local/privatenodes.txt, sorts it and writes it to
/var/log/asterisk/astdb.txt

Is there something else you need to know?
