Due to the wide variety of installation paths and MOD structures, each
MOD may offer specialized options.  These can be provided as
"--option_name OPTION" which will be passed directly to the
Bio::GMOD::Update::"MOD" object's update() method.  For example, a
typical command to maintain a WormBase installation looks like:

 % gmod_update_installation.pl --analyze_logs --mysql_path /usr/local/mysql/data

For a full description of all available system paths and update
options for your particular MOD, see L<Bio::GMOD::Adaptor> and
L<GMOD::Adaptor::your_mod>.

=head1 Running under cron

You may wish to run this script under cron to ensure that your
installation is always up-to-date.  For my personal installation of
WormBase, I use the following settings:

0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/gmod_update_installation.pl --sync_to dev

This will check for and install a new version if present at 2 AM in
the morning.

I keep my installation in sync with the development version.  You will
want to use the more stable live version, which you can specify using
"--sync_to live" or by simply leaving off the "--sync_to" option
altogether.

A suggested crontab entry for a simple local installation is:

  gmod_update_intallation.pl --sync_to live --purge 1

A suggested crontab entry for official WormBase mirror sites is:

  gmod_update_intallation.pl --sync_to live --purge 1 --analyze_logs 1
