Cron is the "timer" to oversimplify my explanation. 'open' is what the timer executes. However, 'open' just opens a resource (file, URL, application) on the server by passing it to the browser. In other words, if you use your example, a browser would be opened and the associated URL would be accesses and displayed in the browser. 'curl' is really what you want. For one thing 'open' may not be able to pass your username and password the way a WebDNA trigger would be able to. Perhaps your admin stuff is not username/password protected, but if it is I think you're out of luck with 'open'. Get to know 'curl' ... more more flexible and useful. ~joe ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
