[Piwik-hackers] Piwik - how to force updates using cron?

[chris burgess]

Wow - I'm impressed with what Piwik offers so far, and really looking
forward to exploring the detailed access to statistics that are available
via the API.

I installed Piwik last night, and successfully got it to update once or
twice, but since then I've had no luck. I used Matt's archive.sh via cron
which runs and authenticates (I can see XML output when it runs). But for
some reason the stats don't update since late yesterday.

I used the token_auth as supplied by on the API page.

I realise this is the -hackers list, probably not the ideal place for
support requests, but it seems to be the most active discussion forum. If
there's a better place for this question, please redirect me!

How can we force an update?

Is there some "magic" I'm missing (eg logout and login) that triggers this?

Can running archive.sh at five minute intervals actually prevent the update?

What DB query will help identify whether I have data waiting to be archived?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
