After some fidling with the original blacklist updater from jaebird, g.vecchi and portucale I have updated the script as below for 2.5.1 since the file locations changed.
I only later saw RHickman's python aproach but since I don't know python I don't know how its error handling works.
The below script will error out if the downloaded file is corrupt. The original script would continue and Dansgaurdian will fail to start again and/or you will only have a few categories in your dansgaurdian config opening your proxy to all those sites you think you blocked posibly.
I have also added the following line to force curl to use an upstream proxy without a username or password since my box does not have direct internet access and the profile.d workaround did not work for me.
Save this file as /etc/cron.weekly/update_blacklist.sh and execute it
export http_proxy=Proxy_Server
Due to restrictions on this site you will need to edit the following lines:
export http_proxy=Proxy_Server
curl -C - -O URL_to_Shallalist
Here is my code modification:
Save this file as /etc/cron.weekly/update_blacklist.sh and execute it.
#!/bin/sh -e
cd /tmp
if [ -a /tmp/shallalist.tar.gz ]
then
rm -r /tmp/shallalist.tar.gz
fi
export http_proxy=Proxy_Server
curl -C - -O URL_to_Shallalist
if [ -a /tmp/BL ]
then
rm -r /tmp/BL
fi
tar -xvzf shallalist.tar.gz
if [ -a /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists.bak ]
then
rm -r /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists.bak
fi
if [ -a /tmp/shallalist.tar.gz ]
then
mv /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists.bak
mkdir /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists/
cp -r /tmp/BL/* /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists/
rm -r /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists/COPYRIGHT
rm -r /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists/global_usage
date > /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists/updated
# Create categories file
for i in `ls /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists/`; do
if [ "$i" != "categories" ]; then
echo "$i"="$i" >> /var/signatures/dansguardian/blacklists/categories;
fi
done
/etc/init.d/dansguardian restart
fi
if [ -a /tmp/shallalist.tar.gz ]
then
rm -r /tmp/shallalist.tar.gz
fi
if [ -a /tmp/BL ]
then
rm -r /tmp/BL
fi
exit 0
