Maybe I'm missing something about the maintenance shell. I don't want my users to see any of the "bones"; I just want them to click on a link and have things done. I thought maintenance shell gives you a terminal type environment you then can work in with specific commands? We're using the wiki to create manuals, and I want my editors to be able to click a link and create a release version that automatically gets copied to a download directory. The release version is date stamped and the script creates a link to the current version of the manual. I don't want to give them access to the server or have them have to do anything more. I'll look at maintenance shell again, too, while I'm working on this. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
