In its current version, the tiles-update-expire script runs the osmosis minutely replication task once. As the default of osmosis is to only collect one hour of minutely diffs at a time, this script will only update the db by up to an hour per invocation. So if you are more than one hour behind, you will need to run it multiple times to catch up. I should fix the script to include the while loop within the script so that if there are still more data to fetch it will automatically do that and you would only need to call the script once to be fully up-to-date again. > > I've been running it almost continuously for the past few hours and it > always seems to have a lot of work to do... You are probably quite a number of hours behind the db after the initial import. Either because the import takes a while, or because your extract is a day or so old. > > Anyway, now I'll have to work on adding layers for cycling, hiking, > horseback and bus routes and their stylesheets.
