Ahh yes, I see how preparing an elegant solution would provide greater flexibility. However, Cordula's solution (ssh user@some.host strings somefile) is about a 15 second fix, whereas setting up a server is, well, not so much a 15 second fix. Thanks for your all help guys. -----Original Message----- From: Marty Landman [mailto:MLandman@face2interface.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 1:15 PM To: cpghost@cordula.ws; paulbeard@mac.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Network messaging At 03:58 PM 11/19/2003, Cordula's Web wrote: >Is ping not enough?

Ralph, my experience as a web developer and newness to system administration directs me to see this in terms of an intranet. I think installing Apache on the network server and then using a simple CGI app would provide much more flexibility for future enhancements and the warm fuzzy feeling that comes from writing apps on app software rather than on the system level. Or something. ;) Marty Landman Face 2 Interface Inc 845-679-9387 Sign On Required: Web membership software for your site Make a Website: http://face2interface.com/Home/Demo.shtml _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
