DB auto update

Right now, application is not designed for automatically refreshing database. Application just load pre-downloaded dabase file, load it on startup and reread database every 60 minutes (interval can be changed by ENV_DB_UPDATE_TIME variable), but database file need to update manually. So you must care about refreshing databse by yourself by using for example crontab and included db-update.sh script. Example for crontab file:

0    2    1    *    *    root    /var/ip2location/db-update.sh "your token" "/var/ip2location/data/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB3.BIN" > /dev/null 2>&1

Script takes two parameters, first - your database token from ip2location.com, and second - database file. In this example script will automatically refresh database every month at 2 AM, once at month. It's enough for free lite database version. Script will not damage database file on fail
