[plug] re: awk

[Jon Miller]

Yes, I'm aware of this, I want to create a script that can do this through cron and then send an e-mail to me stating that there are updates downloaded.  So you see this has to be a non-user interactive process.

Thanks

gFTP will do this if you are downloading using ftp. Just have the local 
directory where you store the packages in the left pane and the directory 
that is the source of the packages in the right hand pane and click on 
tools-->compare windows. This will then highlight the files that are in one 
pane and not in the other. Then it is just a single click to download those 
that you do not have.
