Sure. My preferred approach would be to create a script with one of perl's LWP modules and the Time:HiRes modules. There are some potential sources of error with this approach--for instance, delay in your script could result in added delay in the results--but I think that's true of most approaches. You could also incorporate curl or libcurl into a script, wget, etc. --Michael -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
