gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
==== Creating a cron-job ====
We can add a cron-job to automate the monthly process of updating the GeoIP database:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/crontab
Now we will add a custom template fragment:
vim /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/crontab/91_Update_GeoIP_db
Add the following to this fragment, this will download and extract the new database every month:
# Updating the GeoIP database monthly on the 5th at 0:00h.
0 0 5 * * root /usr/bin/wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz -O /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz; /bin/gunzip -f /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz
To activate the custom template fragment:
expand-template /etc/crontab
