I have a Perl script that I run from cron. It's not pretty (I know almost nothing about Perl); it just works. It's something like this: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $url = 'http://www.somesite.com/index.html'; # access the url with lynx, redirecting STDOUT to ELFILO # one can use either -source or -dump; see man lynx open ELFILO, "lynx -accept_all_cookies -source '$url' |" ; while (my $line = <ELFILO>) { do something with $line using regular expressions and print whatever output I need } -- Saul Arias - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
