<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The users_asc files are stand-alone programs that
will rebuild your users.v3 file should it get trashed.
./users_asc from /spider/data will delete the old
file and rebuild it as it was at the time of the export-user. Spider must
not be running to rebuild.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A comment about users.v3 growing so large.
Every time a PC41 is received by your node it enters the data in users.v3.
If there is not an entry for that particular callsign, one is created. The
entries are not limited to your registered users and the nodes you
see.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Dxspider-support] export_user
command</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My DXSpider cluster has been quite well behaved
for eons. Most recent changes are a switch to K1EA for spot feeds and
updated WINXP to SP2. Over the past couple weeks the 10G harddrive
has filled twice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The users_asc file was 7Gb in both
cases.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I see that the base CRONTAB file has an
export-user command in it. I have commented it out. I have also
deleted the 5 generations of users_asc (the .o, .oo, .ooo
etc.).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another observation, my users.V3 is 8Mb - I
thought (dangerous) that this would only have my registered users, but it
obviously has many many more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, finally, to my questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Is there something abberant about my users.V3
file?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) What is the purpose of the export_user command
in the base CRONTAB file? I cannot find a companion import function for
rebuild or ???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for reading this novel :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best 73, Bill N2BC</FONT></DIV>
