Each day, I'm required to agree to the same Terms of Use. At least I want to make sure that it is the same. So what I do each time is highlight the entire text of it, open the editor, paste it, and save it as fula. I wrote a simple bash script to compare the two files, and another simple bash script to delete fula (so that the next time I tell the editor to save as fula, it doesn't ask me "Are you nutz? Are you *sure* you want to over write the one you already have?").
If the terms are always at the same url, you could automate the process by using wget or curl in your script to get the file. You may even be able to use the HTTP builtin modification detection mechanisms instead of a diff (for example, see the curl -z flag), if that suits your needs. -- Rick -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
