pkg-message:
For install:
Before using ANDwatch, you must create the MAC Address database. The The MAC Address database is created with the following command: /usr/local/bin/andwatch-update-ma It is generally a good idea to update the MAC Address database on a periodic basis to incorporate new address assignments. This update can be done via cron. Here is an example cron entry to update the MAC Address database once per month: 0 0 1 * * root /usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/andwatch-update-ma Note that the database update is performed live, and andwatchd does not need to be stopped in order to run the update.
