[Klug-general] Bash / Curl Scripting Tuition 5

[Stephen Ryan]

Ok. here is some input in response to questions.

1. I want to start by writing a script that spiders my website, pulls down
all the pages i have there, pulls down all the new comments posted by site
visitors and then logs into my cpanel and scrapes all my site stats for the
day. All this content will be downloaded and formatted into text files for
my viewing. This way i don't even need to load the browser up. Then from
there i start working out how to interact with my website in other ways.

2. My plan is to use Amazon EC2 free services to pull up a command line,
from where i can run my scripts.
http://aws.amazon.com/

3. I do not want to use any higher level language which i have to upload to
EC2. Native Linux and Bash would be my preferred choice and of course i have
to use Curl.

I hope that clarifies my requirement there.

cheers
Stephen
