NAME
geoipupdate - a program for updating the MaxMind GeoIP databases
SYNOPSIS
geoipupdate [-v] [-f licensefile]
DESCRIPTION
geoipupdate automatically updates the GeoIP database for GeoIP
subscribers. It connects to the MaxMind GeoIP Update server
and checks for an updated database. If it finds an updated
database, then it downloads it, uncompresses it, and installs it.
If you are running a firewall, it requires that the DNS and
HTTP (80) ports be open.
For example
geoipupdate -v
Performs the update in verbose mode.
OPTIONS
- -v
-
Verbose mode, prints out the steps that geoipupdate takes.
- -d

Specify a custom directory target to install the GeoIP datafile(s). By default geoipupdate installs to /usr/share/GeoIP
- -f
-

-
# top of crontab
MAILTO=your@email.com
