Ok what is the SSI command to run test.cgi if test.html file is over 3 hours old?
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/test/test.cgi" (This works fine currently, but I only want to run if the file test.html is more than 3 hours old)
I know this:
#flastmod virtual (Gives me the date modified)
#DATE_LOCAL (Gives me Local time)

What do I need to do to execute if difference is < 3 hours?

Something like.....


...may work.

Using only SSI commands? I don't think whoever asked the question was using any perl/php or anything else to drive his pages.

I don't think there is a way to do this using just SSI?

That code goes in the test.cgi script

Bingo!

Check this page of SSI...
I think there is a way of doing it, but not sure about the long command

Hey Hank you'd need to change that to:

Hank,

I think my method is best (not meaning to be arrogant) as all code is contained in one script then.

Thx... I am trying it right now... server keeps giving me errors
This is the code I did:

I know I am missing something here... because the errors... Need to get mor Coffee
If you see it before me post it here.
Thx

You need to print a header :)

Try...


....make sure test.html exists in the same directory as test.cgi - if not you'll need to add the full path like:

my $days = -M "/FULL/PATH/TO/test.html";

I don't even know why I added / 4 - it _should_ be:

Cool Thx...

Got it working... My perl is not as good as you guys, but I had to add "}" for above code to get it working..

Thx again, you saved my day.
Hank

Oops missed that ...before else { ...I edited the code above incase anyone else decides to try it.

...there is a way to do it... using extended SSI. I'm not familiar with using it myself but I've seen it somewhere like at BigNoseBird or something.
