+
+  dbcreate <name> cmd <dxspider command> make a local command available
+  as a DB
+
+  DBCREATE allows you to define a database in the system. It doesn't
+  actuallycreate anything, just defines it.The databases that are
+  created are simple DB_File hash databases, they are therefore already
+  'indexed'.You can define a local database with the first form of the
+  command eg:
+
+
+         DBCREATE oblast
+
+
+
+  You can also chain databases with the addition of the 'chain' keyword.
+  This will search each database one after the other. A typical example
+  is:
+
+
+         DBCREATE sdx_qsl chain sql_ad
+
+
+
+  No checking is done to see if the any of the chained databases exist,
+  infact it is usually better to do the above staement first then do
+  each ofthe chained databases.Databases can exist offsite. To define a
+  database that lives on another node do:
+
+
+         DBCREATE buckmaster remote gb7dxc
+
+
+
+  Remote databases cannot be chained; however, the last database in a a
+  chain can be a remote database eg:
+
+
+         DBCREATE qsl chain gb7dxc
+
+
+
+  To see what databases have been defined do:
+
+
+         DBAVAIL (or it will have been aliased to SHOW/COMMAND)
+
+
+
+  It would be normal for you to add an entry into your local Aliases
+  fileto allow people to use the 'SHOW/<dbname>' style syntax. So you
+  wouldneed to add a line like:-
+
+
+         's' => [    ..    ..    '^sh\w*/buc', 'dbshow buckmaster', 'dbshow',    ..    ..   ],
+
+
+
+  to allow
+
+
+         SH/BUCK g1tlh
+
+
+
+  to work as they may be used to.You can also make local commands avail-
+  able as 'pseudo' databases. Youcan therefore make spider special com-
+  mands available as a database. Iimagine that this will be primarily
+  useful for remote access from legacy nodes. For example:-
+
+
+         DBCREATE dxqsl cmd show/dxqsl
+
+
+
+  You also use one of these databases in a chain. This may be useful
+  locally. See DBIMPORT for the importing of existing AK1A format data
+  to databases.See DBSHOW for generic database enquiry

+
+  dbimport <dbname> <filename> Import AK1A data into a database
+
+  If you want to import or update data in bulk to a database you can

+  existingdatabase. For example:-
+
+
+         DBIMPORT oblast /tmp/OBLAST.FUL
+
+
+
+  will import the standard OBLAST database that comes with AK1A into

+
+
+         DBREMOVE oblast
+
+
+
+  will remove the oblast database from the system and it will also

+  save [-d -t -a] <filename> "<cmd>" [...] Save command output to a file
+
+  This sysop only cammand allows you to save the output of one or
+  morecommands to a file. For example:-
+
+
+         save /spider/packclus/dxstats show/dxstat
+
+
+
+  will save the output of the normal command "show/dxstat" to the
+  file"dxstats" in the files area.You can have some extra flags to the
+  save which will either date stamp or time stamp or both the filename
+  so:-
+
+
+         save -d /tmp/a <cmd> creates /tmp/a_6-Jan-2002  save -t /tmp/a <cmd> creates /tmp/a_2301Z  save -d -t /tmp/a <cmd> creates /tmp/a_6-Jan-2002_2301Z
+
+
+
+  The -a flag means append to the file instead of overwriting it.You can
+  have more than one command on the line, to do this you MUSTenclose
+  each command in double quotes (") eg:-
+
+
+         save /tmp/a "sh/hfstats" "blank +" "sh/vhfstats"
+
+
+  or

+  You can only write into places that the cluster has permission for
+  (whichis that of the "sysop" user [which had BETTER NOT BE "root"]),
+  you will need to create any directories you want to put stuff in
+  beforehand as well.It is likely that you will want to run these com-
