Run external program if db is modidied
Is there a mod that will allow me to call an external program whenever the database is modified. For instance, if a record is added deleted or modified, I want to call an external perl script that updates some dynamic content on a web page. I did some searches on "modified" and "external" but didn't find anything. I also looked in the unofficial FAQ and didn't find anything. Maybe I'm using the wrong key words because I'm sure I saw some posts on this last year.

By the way, I was noticing the nifty tool bar on this textarea entry screen. Is this a commercial product? Can it be added to dbman? Back to the "Search Posts" page!

You'll want to look/search for SSI (server side includes) - I even use JavaScript on some of my pages to update content.
