Re: [PLUG] shell newbie has question


I have a perl program I wrote to do just that. I get Amateur radio IPIP
routing updates daily and I check the incoming folder hourly. If a new
file is there I process it, make the new routing tables and put them in
the system. This has been running non-stop unattended for years. There are
many parameters you can check on. In my case I 'zero' the file when I am
done processing but you could work on date or many things. Perl is an
excellent way to do these kinds of things. I also wrote one to expire my
mail in all of my various mail folders. It uses an expire data file -
name of file and days to expire. I would be glad to share any of this if
it helps.

Doug
