Shell script broken?
Is it just me, or is the shell script implementation broken? --Psud 08:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, please refer to my comments on the main page discussion. --Psud 12:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've rewritten the script to incorporate some earlier suggestions I made (they were left on the main page's talk page when the implementations were moved) about portability (you seem to have been bitten by the slicing issue I was worried about). However, you will need to have dc installed no matter what.

Shell version bugs
While it runs on sh, ksh, and bash now, it still doesn't work on OpenBSD. If GNU date (which has the -d option) is not detected, I assume FreeBSD's -v is available; OpenBSD doesn't appear to have a comparable feature. Could someone test on OS X? No idea what's there (pretty sure they ship with wget, though).
Super brownie points if you can make it fallback to wget *or* fetch in one line so I can delete that stupid usage warning and have it run on FreeBSD out of the box. --Decklin
