Automated FTP task

hmm... write a script on the server that is launched daily using the cron (man crontab)... have that script ftp to your workstation or wherever and grab the file. The automated FTP will probably require a .netrc file in your user directory or wherever you ftp to to get the file.
However, if you are having to tar the file manually every day, write a script on the workstation side to do that for you a few minutes before the server script executes... once again, utilizing the crontab.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Strange... those other replies both popped up while I was writing... ummm... take their advice.

KEP_RELOAD(1) General Commands Manual KEP_RELOAD(1) NAME
kep_reload - Update Predict's Keplerian elements SYNOPSIS
kep_reload DESCRIPTION
KEP_RELOAD is a simple utility that forces an immediate reload of PREDICT's Keplerian database through a socket connection while PREDICT is running in server mode. It is especially useful in environments where PREDICT runs continuously, and periodic Keplerian element updates are made outside of PREDICT, such as through scripts run through a crontab. The "kepupdate" script found in this directory is an example of a Keplerian element update script that can be run on an automated basis through a crontab. It is designed to be placed in your home directory under a subdirectory called "cronjobs". It downloads Keplerian orbital data from www.celestrak.com using the HTTP protocol. (The "wget" utility, available from the Free Software Foundation, is required, and is included in many Linux distrubutions.) Type crontab -e to edit your crontab. Simply add the following entry: 0 8 * * * kepupdate and your orbital database will update each morning at 8:00 AM (provided you have a network connection at that time). See the crontab man page for more information on editing your crontab. AUTHOR
