Being serious for a moment, though, most banks only update your balance once a day, so checking it every 5 minutes, every hour or even twice a day will make little sense... Some things, like kupot gemel, are only updated once a month... So use a little common sense when you decide on the access frequency. Dan's script sure has some interesting potential, like sending yourself an SMS whenever a new transaction happened (or just if you entered a "minus"), or sending yourself an SMS with your updated balance, stock worth, or whatever, every night. It would be nice if this script one-day supported other banks too. Watch out for the security implications, though... -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Dec 26 2001, 12 Tevet 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Tact: The ability to describe others as http://nadav.harel.org.il |they see themselves. - Abraham Lincoln ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
