Thanks @snowleopardw.

Before running the script, please make sure you have installed the pip.

Hi @Femtometer

As I mentioned in the description, I only tested on OS X.

Anyone can modify this code based on their needs.

@VincentSit Thanks

when I run your script ./update_gfwlist.sh, I get：

Installing gfwlist2pac.
Collecting gfwlist2pac
Installing collected packages: gfwlist2pac
Successfully installed gfwlist2pac-1.1.3

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
Updated.

Is that because I am using python version 3.x ?

@xujchen

Hi, sorry for the delay, because Gist comments and mentions don't trigger notifications.

Yes, gfwlist2pac needs python 2.7.

For OS X users, if crontab does't running your script, please consider specify PATH variable in the Crontab.

thanks for the code, but it would be better if could check the version of python.
I install gfwlist2pac by hand, but when i run the code, it download the gfwlist2pac again using pip3
I changed pip to pip2 and it works

Your bash is fine.
But l'm wired of one thing. Here it is when l update latest gfwlist l found couldn't access google whether Autoproxy or Globalproxy. Something like latest gfwlist have some problem. l don't know any people encounter this problem?

@tony-haibo-zhu Just close your ShadowsockX and restart it.

The script returns:

Downloading gfwlist.
abort due to error occurred.

Is this because of an error with the gfwlist2pac install? The gfwlist2pac install returns:
The directory '/Users/xxx/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

Does this mean the installation was unsuccessful?

Good job!

@xujchen I have the same problem, is there any way to use python3?

THX!!! Line 63 --precise is useless and will cause error .

i want to know how to cancel

@fuurose you should run it like sudo -H update_gfwlist.sh

@Femtometer you can change line 48 as cd /Users/[YOUR_USER_NAME]/.ShadowsocksX || exit 1 to solve the problem

我运行脚本./update_gfwlist.sh以后显示

DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. 
You can use --format=(legacy|columns)
 (or define a format=(legacy|columns)
 in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.\
Downloading gfwlist.
abort due to error occurred.

系统是OS X 10.11 ，请问一下，该怎么解决

Desktop xxxx$ python update_gfwlist.sh
File "update_gfwlist.sh", line 28
pip list | grep gfwlist2pac &> /dev/null
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

这个脚本已经不需要了，也不维护了，请自行去下载 ShadowsocksX-NG。
