[11:27] schestowitz-TR2 and that re-running the above script results in the same thing?

[12:14] schestowitz-TR2 gonna add it now [12:14] schestowitz-TR2 is it correct the scripti ran by accident just replicates what was already there [12:14] schestowitz-TR2 and compared today to yesterday to cull duoes?

Then if the script [12:16] techrightssec is run with no options, it fetches only the updated feeds. [12:16] techrightssec If an OPML file is loaded, it overwrites any settings, There is no caching [12:16] techrightssec yet either [12:20] schestowitz-TR2 i meant the script in links@tr [12:20] schestowitz-TR2 merge-daily-links [12:20] schestowitz-TR2 i ran it by accident a couple of hours ago [12:20] schestowitz-TR2 btw, ircvery busy today [12:20] schestowitz-TR2 and several channels have a lot more news in them [12:20] schestowitz-TR2 lik a ticker but with interaction and stuff [12:20] schestowitz-TR2 much better than before the hdd crash [12:20] schestowitz-TR2 i also made kde look and behave very nicely [12:20] techrightssec Oh. That's probably fine but let me check. [12:20] techrightssec Yes, as long as there is the manual page in ~/Links/tmp/ the merge script [12:20] techrightssec will just re-run. There is a slight risk of missing some automated feeds [12:20] techrightssec if the feeds happen to change between runs or individual entries happen to [12:20] techrightssec age out. If the manual file is missing, then the script should just abort [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 i think i ran it a short time after it had initislly run [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 so should be safe [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 i compared old to current [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 the reason it happened is, [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 0:40am i lost connection [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 the router rebooted itself [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 i logged back in [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 relied on history(1) [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 the computers here always have about 15 ssh sessions between them [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 hence, major annoyance when connection drops at the mains [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 aside from needing to chase potentially missing irc activity [12:30] schestowitz-TR2 which i've done for 15 years [12:46] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Feb 09 [13:07] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@freenode-rmogvn.g0d7.dtdf.mc4289.IP) has joined #boycottnovell [13:07] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@e29ec4gtxas4w.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [13:19] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
