man dailystrips-update (Commandes) - download updated dailystrips definitions
NAME
dailystrips-update - download updated dailystrips definitions
SYNOPSIS
dailystrips-update [OPTIONS] DAYS
DESCRIPTION
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.
USAGE
