adam's right here. even for the command-line phobic, wget is easy to get your head around.
in windows, you can save the command line you use into a .bat file, then make a scheduled task out of it. the scheduler is fairly simple to use too. the ideal would be a hotsync conduit that just runs a script on the host computer when hotsync starts (which could then call wget). anybody any ideas on where to find such a conduit? kev -----Message d'origine----- De : Adam McDaniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoye : 30 May 2002 19:28 A : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: Automating preplucked pluckings On Thu, May 30, 2002 at 03:20:06AM -0400, Greg M wrote: > What is the easiest way of automatically grabbing > http://www.plkr.org/samples/plucks/SlashPluck.pdb and putting it on my palm? > > Note: Yes, I could just click on the link every time, but I'm looking for a > way that will do the entire process for me, so all I have to do is press the > Hot-Sync button. I assume you run windows. If so, and you also have some unix experience, you can install cygwin's packages of wget and crontab. Wget'll grab the url and save it wherever you want, and crontab will run the wget command at specific times of the day for you. I think that there are some windows services that'll automate specific tasks, but I couldn't recommend anything specific. -- Adam McDaniel Array Networks Calgary, AB, Canada
