of course not :-) > and in this case I can't see why you would want > the monitored pages and not the ones requested when offline. because sometimes there is not enough time for fetching all requests, just like people do not always want to run fetch when the get online to quickly get their email, for the same reason i sometimes just quickly want to get the monitored pages. > > in the process of this i also notices a bug. > > motitored pages are immideately marked as uptodate > > (in the monitor list) as soon as fetching starts. > The monitored list shows the pages that have been requested. It > doesn't show that they have been fetched. but knowing when the last time was that a request has been made does no good, i want to know when the last time was successfull, so i can spot problems. consider an important page that doesn't change often, but if it changes i want to get it right away, so i check every day. currently i'd never know if there is something wrong. greetings, martin. -- i am looking for a job anywhere in the world, doing pike programming, caudium/pike/roxen training, roxen/caudium and/or unix system administration. -- pike programmer Traveling in Singapore (www|db).hb2.tuwien.ac.at unix (iaeste|bahai).or.at (www.archlab|iaeste).tuwien.ac.at systemadministrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org mud.at is.(schon.org|root.at) Martin B"ahr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
