to check last update time

updateTimes.csh $db gbLoaded [defaults to dev and beta]
updateTimes.csh $db gbLoaded hgwbeta hgw2

to set genbank daily updates:

cd ..../makeDb/genbank/etc:

align.dbs  -- lists assemblies to align
   will create alignments for all these assemblies 
   regardless of intent to load
$machine.dbs -- lists assemblies to load on a machine.
   ##assemblyName will disable the load regardless of whether
   there are alignments to load.

the load will only take place after the build has completed.
the build will update a file with the build date. when the genbank
  process is kicked off on a machine (e.g., hgw1) it checks the
  date in the file with the local copy and only does the load if the 
  dates are different.  (if the build is sitll in progress, there 
  may be alignments to load that will not get grabbed even though 
  the dates may be different).   when the load is done, the file 
  with the new date is copied to the local machine.
   
to put into effect on dev:
cd ..../makeDb/genbank:
make etc-update
or:  
cd /cluster/data/genbank/etc
cvs up -dP
 
to put into effect on beta/rr (hgnfs1):
ssh hgwbeta
cd /genbank/etc
