#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w # # This script was written for [Ovid] to update his homenode with the # latest statistics from SETI@Home. It is easily adapted to other # tasks where a user wants to automate updating information on their # homenode. # # To use, first BACKUP YOUR HOMENODE (mark'n'copy, then save it in a # text file, in case something happens). Insert a pair of tags where + # you want the text to be inserted in your homenode. The tag pair is # <!--StartTag--><!--EndTag-->. When the script runs, it searchs for # this tag pair, and replaces anything between them with the new text +. # # If the tags don't exist, it will create them at the top of the page +, # and (hopefully) not wreck any existing text. # # To run the script, it's: setiupdate -u username -p password [-s] [- +v] # # -s tells the script to set the significant update check box. (Note # that for some reason, either the PM HTML, or the HTML::Form module, # a warning is generated. It won't go away. If you fix it, let me # know). # # -v says be a little more verbose, and tell me what each stage of th +e # process is. Not recommended for cron jobs. # # To use this for non-SETI@Home stuff, just cut out the SETI related # code, and insert your own. As world-class Perl programmers who spe +nd # 1/2 their life at www.perlmonks.org, this should be trivial. # # As usual, any bugs(!) should be report to me, please.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
