Yes, I do have the access to crontab command.

------ Post updated at 03:40 AM ------

Thanks for the help @Crona688 It works like a charm.
It fulfills my problem to an extent.

I would me more happy if I can pull the server.log file to my local Windows directory and it should be updating continously as it do on the server. Can you tell if there's any way to sync/download the file to local drive while it is continoulsy updated on the server path.

Thanks for the help always !

geoipupdate

GEOIPUPDATE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    GEOIPUPDATE(1)

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  fire-
       wall, 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/local/share/GeoIP

       -f     Specifies the configuration file that contains the license key.  Defaults to /usr/local/etc/GeoIP.conf

USAGE

       Typically you'll want to write a weekly crontab that will run geoipupdate.  Below is a sample crontab that runs geoipupdate on each Wednes-
       day at noon:

	      # top of crontab

	      MAILTO=your@email.com

	      0 12 * * 3 BIN_DIR/geoipupdate

	      # end of crontab

RETURN CODES

       geoipupdate returns 0 on success, 1 on error.

FILES

       /usr/local/etc/GeoIP.conf

       Configuration file for GeoIP, should contain license key.
