Auto update option?

[scottreed]

I'm not clear from the documentation how you keep the database updated? I see that there are three options when installing for where to retrieve the wurlf data from, but I do not see anything mentioning how future updates are done. Do they have to be done manually each time or is there a way to schedule an automatic recurring update from the wurfl website?

There is no auto-update option at this time. I have always wanted to implement this function directly in the code, but I never did because I would have needed to store the version number of the WURFL that is installed and periodically check if a newer version is available. In the current development branch, this version number and last updated date are stored in a table, so I will probably include this auto-update functionality in 2.1.3.

Until then, if you are on Linux you can use a crontab entry like this:

50 1 * * 0 root wget -O - 2>&1 > /dev/null -T0

That would update Tera-WURFL every Sunday at 1:50am

Perfect - not a problem. The crontab option if fine. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thank you!
