I understand you don't want to update this script, but is it seriously too difficult to do, instead of some code that uses a regular-expression to pull the serial number out of a file, something like: $ FOO=`dig +short @ns1.megacity.org megacity.org soa | cut -f 3 -d ' '` ; echo $FOO 2011041503 and get the current serial number that way? It seems to me that this would require one or two lines of change in the code to grab the output of that and stuff it into your "last serial number" value, no?
