scripts

This location presents unix utilities for general administrative tasks:

  • a script using ftp to display a remote update time stamp

  • a tool to test input validation on webservers

  • Douglas Clinton's script to display the temporary internet name

  • a script to automate file upload using perl in a cron job

  • you must have LWP installed in your build of perl to use these. type
    perl -MCPAN -e shell and then type force install Bundle::LWP

  • if you don't know what this means look at the perl CPAN site or email me.

  • my timestamp subroutine to convert numbers to words in an elegant display format for file modification time statements. You can see it in action at the bottom of each page on this site.
