[Orca-users] Re: Initial install /configure question

[dave.pyles at boeing.com]

I recommend a cron job that looks something like this:

# more /opt/orca/bin/orca_update
#!/bin/ksh
ulimit -n 2048

# Mirror sites
/ots/bin/perl /mirror/mirror /mirror/packages/*

# Process current orca data
/opt/orca/bin/orca  -o -v /opt/orca/lib/orcallator.cfg

Since cron starts it, you don't have to worry about it owning a shell 
window; and logging out or even rebooting is not a problem. The -o 
says to run once and terminate until next cron interval. This frees
up 
your system from excessive load between updates. Mirror is copying
the 
percol files via ftp from the monitored clients. ulimit prevents 
problems from too many open files.
