dailystrips-update - download updated dailystrips definitions

       This manual page was written by Rene Weber <rene_debmaint@public.e-mail.elvenlord.com>,  for  the  Debian
       GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).

                                                  June 25, 2004                            DAILYSTRIPS-UPDATE(1)

       The dailystrips-update script is provided to automatically retrieve  updated  strip  definitions  from  a
       central server, eliminating the need to manually download and install new versions of the entire program.

       It  is recommened that the dailystrips-update script be run before each execution of the main dailystrips
       program. The dailystrips-update script has provisions to only check for updates if the current  file  has
       reached  a certain age, which maximizes efficiency and should allow users to run the update script before
       each execution of dailystrips without overtaxing the update server.

dailystrips-update [OPTIONS] DAYS

       Operation is straightforward. Simply execute dailystrips-update and the updated definitions will be saved
       to ~/.dailystrips-updates.def, which will automatically be loaded by the main dailystrips program.

       Due  to  the  above,  as  of  November  2009, dailystrips-update has been neutered to exit immediately on
       execution, and it is expected that it will be removed in a future version of this package.
