Hi,
I'm after a limited but variable number of files daily (daily
births/deaths/marriages from a News Corp site) and -crawl seemed a tidy
way of doing this. I have had -crawl, under cron, working correctly on my
ISP but can't get it to work with another ISP as a "cron" job. Wget does
seem applicable but "wget" is not installed on the ISP from which I want
to do the daily collection and I'm trying to KISS. Hope this explains my
situation.
Thankyou, David, for your input,
atb, Paul G.
