Subject: URLMON 3.0


I haven't really delved into the new filters of 3.0 (some of which I
asked for!) but just as a vote of confidence I thought I'd let you
know I had it and so far so good.

I also don't remember if I sent this before, but just in case, here
is the script that I use to generate a README.html which I plunk into
my public_html directory to give me a hotlist of changed sites (I run
the test on a personal crontab)

#!/bin/sh
# Generate an HTML README report in your public_html to give you a hotlist
# of changed sites.  I run this daily from a personal crontab
# 
# Author: Gary Murphy <garym@sympatico.ca>

OUTPUT=~/public_html/README.html

/usr/local/bin/urlmon -l -t 240 -F 3 > /tmp/urlmon.$$ # generate a curt listing

if [ -s /tmp/urlmon.$$ ]      # check to see if we have any changed URLs
then                          # send mail if we do
    cat /tmp/urlmon.$$ | ~/bin/urlmon2html > /tmp/urlhtml.$$
    if [ -s $OUTPUT ] ; then
        cat $OUTPUT >> /tmp/urlhtml.$$
    fi
    if [ -s /tmp/urlhtml.$$ ] ; then
        mv -f /tmp/urlhtml.$$ $OUTPUT
    fi
rm /tmp/urlmon.$$
fi
