    Hello.


    How can I auto update "geoip_country_code_by_name" with a cron job or so?

    I found this on github in centmin.sh or so,
    # cp -a /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat-backup
    # wget -cnv http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz -O /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz
    # gzip -df /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz

    would this work to be ran on first tuesday each month? (when maxmind updates it)

    #!/bin/bash
\cp -f /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat-backup
wget -cnv http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz -O /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz
gzip -df /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz
    this might work save to file i.e. geoip-update.sh and run it from cronjob

    Thank you.

    How often should I run the cron job, or how often does it update? I heard it updates each thursday.. but i see sites like Telize - JSON IP and GeoIP REST API relaying on same method, has more accurate IP.

    GeoLite Legacy Downloadable Databases « Maxmind Developer Site

    the one i use is geoip_country_code_by_name only, am i updating correct one?
