For people who never reboot this isn't much good. For people who reboot all the time, it will run way more often than needed. For people who don't use broadband, it will break. For people who use broadband but for some reason aren't connected or their connection is dead, this will break. Considering all of the above, I think a monthly cronjob is the best solution if someone wants to automate this task. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
