+<b><u>FAQ-COM130 : HOW TO RUN AWSTATS FREQUENTLY</u></b><br>
<font class=CProblem>PROBLEM:</font><br>
AWStats must be ran frequently to update statistics. How can I do this ?<br>
<font class=CSolution>SOLUTION:</font><br>
+A good way of working is to run the AWStats update process as a preprocessor of your log rotate
+process. See previous FAQ (<a href="#ROTATE">FAQ-COM120</a>) for this.<br>
+But you can also run AWStats update process regularly by a scheduler:<br>
<br>
<u>With Windows</u>, you can use the internal task scheduler.
The use of this tool is not an AWStats related problem, so please take a look at your Windows manual.
<u>With unix-like operating systems</u>, you can use the "<b>crontab</b>".<br>
This is examples of lines you can add in the cron file (see your unix reference manual for cron) :<br>
To run update every day at 03:50, use :<br>
-<i>50 3 * * * /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mysite -update</i><br>
+<i>50 3 * * * /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mysite -update >/dev/null</i><br>
To run update every hour, use :<br>
-<i>0 * * * * /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mysite -update</i><br>
+<i>0 * * * * /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mysite -update >/dev/null</i><br>
