In case anyone else is interested (and my apologies for polluting your Alpine Linux thread), note that the Fourmilab site has a limit on the rate that images that can be requested. I exceeded this a couple of times during testing, and instead of an image I was served up a file that said I had exceeded the number of images that can be downloaded within a 10 minute period. At that point, in order to be 'unlocked', you have to stop all requests for a while.
I found that one image per minute seemed acceptable, but overnight I was again locked out - I'm guessing that small variations in the cron interval meant that I had actually asked for 11 images in one 10-minute period. Anyway, the images seem to update by one pixel in just over 2 minutes, so I've adjusted my cron job accordingly. It seems that the syntax to run every second minute (1/2 * * * *) isn't supported by cron under pCP, so instead I used 0,2,4,6,8...54,56,58 for the minutes. So far so good - not locked out yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111488 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
