I agree that something needs to be done about the update scripts that are

Why do you not use a program alias and only download when you receive
notification that a new rule base is available? If everyone used gzip and
only downloaded when notified the bandwidth could be controlled by
staggering the notifications.

Does anyone have some simple instructions on how to setup to use a program
alias?
I'm using Bill Landry's script, have not had the time to look in to using a
program alias to download upon receipt of notifications.

So far it seems to be working, at least it doesn't seem to be downloading
the rulebase yet, I'll have to see if it does later when there is an updated
rulebase. My script uses a copy at the end rather than a move. It's listed
below for reference. Do you see any issues?
wget -N
Update, I just launched my script and it is downloading just fine. In my
case it was as simple as adding the -N option.

Quick question if when you have a sucessful download if abcdef.new is
renamed than what is wget comparing on the next run of the script?

While the output file is named .new, it IS comparing the file named in
the URL, in his case fp0o4jye.snf against a file with the same name in the
current directory. The output (-o) option only comes into play IF an
download is actually occurring (after the timestamp condition).
With CURL things
As far as I understand it wget is comparing the date stamp on the file in
the local directory to the date stamp on the file at sortmonster.net, if its
not don't download the file, if it is do download it.

Good point... I don't know why I didn't think of that... As soon as I
get in in the morning, I'm gonna change that... That's also one of the
reasons I posted to the list :) I'm always trying to make things harder
for myself ;)
Thanks,

Russ, why go through all of

I would use
copy /V /Y abcdefg.snf C:\sniffer\abcdefg.new
Rename C:\sniffer\abcdefg.snf abcdefg.old
Rename C:\sniffer\abcdefg.new abcdefg.snf
C:\sniffer\abcdefg.exe reload

John,
since you have not implemented a trigger program alias yet, would you be willing
to test the setup instructions and provide feedback?
