Giorgos, That looks really awesome! I think you may be able to accomplish this with /usr/bin/fetch (which _is_ a part of base), though. If you'd like, I can send you a patch to accomplish this. :) I plan on putting this on all of my computers! Excellent work, sir! -B On Sat, May 03, 2003 at 11:49:38PM +0300, Giorgos Keramidas wrote: > Hi all, > > A friend asked me a while ago on IRC if it was possible to receive > periodic email notifications with new security advisories. > > The following script for /etc/periodic/security implements exactly this > idea.
