Making It Automatic
My goal is that I can set the nph-build to run nightly on a crontab but ONLY add the links that have that day's date to the webpages - basically I guess it needs to check the 'date added' field of a link before considering it for inclusion on the site. I'd love to approve a week's worth of links and then let the site update itself nightly. Anybody had any success with this? Thanks!

Why not just do a full crontab of nph-build.cgi? That would be much easier than fiddling with the script. Personally I can't see what you would gain if you did it the other way Wink Is you site based around these new links?

Read his post more carefully....

Basically, he/she is looking for a method of AUTOMATICALLY validating links and then build the directory. At least that is how I interpreted the post.
