If you don't like it, just ignore it. [...] Ehhh ... great points that I may use in my life. I just like to share enough rope to hang oneself. I try to keep the fetch arguments simple for portability to non-FreeBSD. For a simple for loop, things started getting silly the moment I slapped my company's license on there. And I used the uppercase so some random person checking out the script would see "oh ... I change THAT variable." (Like a #define or something in a Makefile.) I put your version at the bottom as the easy, lightweight, not 40 lines of commentary and license version, as the stuff above, as noted, has gotten silly, and just to make it absolutely clear, that everything we ever need in life, can just be finished with with the right six lines of shell script. (Or one well-formed wget command, but I digress.) I hope everyone is happily implementing their respective solutions though. :) Thanks, -danny -- http://dannyman.toldme.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
