Crontab

Filed under: — Joe @ 8:37 pm

I feel very clever to have figured out, not only how to use that hack (AuthImage) to eliminate the comment spam (I hope), but also how to have a cron job go in and delete the little images it creates once a day in the middle of the night.

(Luckily, my totally excellent webhost TotalChoice Hosting provided some easy tools, but I still feel a lot geekier than I used to!)

  1. I haven’t decided whether or not I want to implement this yet. The fact that I tried and couldn’t get it to work has nothing to do with my decision :)

  2. It was tough. But worth it, I think! :smile:
