<div id="yiv1038204064"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi List,<br><br></div>I may just need a reminder, but how do I set up mythfilldatabase to run automatically? Since upgrading to .27, it is not doing this anymore. Fortunately, I noticed on thanksgiving I had no data and ran it manually, but would like to avoid this or using the old cron job method.<br>
<br>Thanks<br></div>

I was hoping the situation would improve with 0.27. It didnt. I use KDE and happened across a nice KDE setup app for cron jobs. It appears to have worked perfect and was pretty simple to configure.<br><br>As far as I could gather from older posts I came across there was a change from using wget to some method within Qt to download data. I think what happened in my case is that I have a not so stable or fast connection. Speculating
wget had better retry mechanisms than the Qt method and was less likely to just give up. <br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
