Unsolicited Faxes and TheLinuxStore.com

compile it like a cgi...not as a module (./configure instead of ./configure
--with-apache.....) ...then you can, although perl probably is more suitable
for most tasks, use it to do various things...

eg, at home, i have quite a few cron'd php proggies that do some db stuff
for me, that aren't involved w/the web. they work essentially the same way,
except the first like of my cron'd php proggies, i have #!/usr/local/bin/php
[plus the appropriate args...]

another example is some netmon stuff i'm working on...pinging boxes/routers,
making sure certain services are running on other boxes, etc etc...i could
do this with shell scripting and some c or perl, but, i prefer php, and it
does what i need it to do, so i use it...for me, it's the right tool for the
job

Really? Wow.. I wasn't even aware.. Can you go into more detail? A quick
search on their website didn't turn up anything.
