- This folder holds cron jobs that support galaxy.
- updateucsc.sh is a shell script to facilitate the updates from UCSC.
- Galaxy stores several files locally to speed up operations that depend
- on information from UCSC. These files can all be found in the
- static/ucsc folder.
- Before adding updateucsc.sh to the crontab, it is important to note
- two things. First, updateucsc.sh must be edited to point towards the
- root galaxy directory. At the top of the file there is a variable
- "GALAXY" that should be edited. Second, the updates come from UCSC
- via their table browsers. While the tendency is typically to run cron
- jobs late at night, UCSC, like most, tend to take down their servers
- at odd hours for maintenance. The update scripts for UCSC are not CPU
- intensive, and should be scheduled during normal hours.
