Which mkgmap version are you using with the typ file? They have changed some lines in the default style so I'm not sure if this typ file is up to date.

It could be whatever you advise, but if the new bits in the default stylesheet are stable then I would like to use the latest one (and allow for future updates).

The problem I'm having on the newest server is not the coding but the restrictions of the operating system (i.e. the script is not allowed to call Java to run Mkgmap, etc.).

So preparing a statement to be executed by a shell script through crontab is also out of the question I assume.[/qupte]Not in a practical way I think. The script will probably not allowed to add a crontab entry either (could be wrong though), but then the script will have to wait for the scheduled task to end and submit the next job to crontab. It would require a major rewrite and I don't really fancy that. The better way would be to configure the rights properly, but I'm not the sysadmin of that server so it takes quite some emailing back and forth.

I don't have any specific new ideas (hint! hint!).

Judging by my father's experience you could probably make it more clear that there are pre-built maps he doesn't have to wait for.

Alright, I'll try to do that. I'm not a native English speaker though, so it's possible that I don't express the options succinct enough. And, ofcourse, there is the additional caveat that none of the countries are available for download at the time of each new map release.

Additionally, the need for users to download countries as much as possible has been alleviated by the new servers as well.

Thanks for your input.
