I think you are over-estimating my bandwidth to take on such a task. :-) >> That provided the person in question actually owns the code, not >> just >> runs the app. In the latter case he has no options to upgrade at >> all. > > Again, 2015! That's not now, not tomorrow but 2015! I have an imap script running server-side to filter my email and knock out a whole bunch of spam that SpamAssasin doesn't catch. It's been running in a cron job since at least July 15, 2004 That's just the earliest mod-time file I can find in the directory... It's been running longer than that, actually. I set it up when Eudora was taking too long to download my email. And Eudora was free. And ad-free. So that's probably pre-2003, if I'm reading Wikipedia correctly. I add a new folder and edit the script or set up an alias and edit the script or find a new annoying pattern and edit the script... It's currently at 1065 lines of code, most of which are mailbox filtering or patterns to kill spam. It's been working fine for 8 years. I don't really care if it dies in any given run. It's going to run again in 10 minutes anyway. I dunno what 8 years time 10 minutes is, but that's an awful lot of times it worked just fine. I don't have time to change it, it's running all on an internal network at my webhost, so security is not a real concern.
