This is correct. The initial script was intended to be triggered by an update notification so there would always be a new rulebase available in that case. While checking for a new rulebase in the script makes it more robust, it is not strictly required if the script will be triggered by an update notification.

That said, if you ever want to run your script manually it might make good sense to upgrade it to check for a newer file. _M This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
