It's really not that important .. I now run ./perlgo & which runs my
perl script that sleeps for 60 seconds and then runs a shell script that runs
lynx and ncftpput to update the page (it does what ?):

(check it out, it has the time there too, heh)
I mentioned the code for this before but I can send it to anyone that wants it
Because my connection is fast and fortune/ncftpput only take half a second
things work out just great. I could of course add all these system stats such
as uptimes/memory etc but I reakon that's pushing it (my uptimes suck anyway
cause I need Windows every so often)
Thanks anyway ! It looks like you've read thru a shell scriping book or
something ?! GEE ! : )
