Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / October 2004Safari Bookmarks comparison
Hi, This might be slightly OT, but... I work in two different locations, and have two different safari bookmark files, obviously. I was thinking about writing a script that would log into one computer, d/l that computer's safari bookmarks, compare that bookmark list to the one on the current computer, make one file that includes all the bookmarks and save that file to both computers. In short, keep the bookmark files synced up. The reason I come to the list is before I venture out on this, is to ask, has this already been done? And if so, where do I go find the script? Thanks, Mark >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >save that file to both computers. In short, keep the bookmark files >synced up. What's wrong with: cvs update Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist followed by something like: cvs commit Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist -m "`hostname` at `date`" (or subversion's equivalent..) -Charles charlesa@pobox.com Hi Charles, So help me out a little, here. I did a little research (quickly) on cvs. (http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvs_16.html), but I still don't understand how that works here. I understand the concept, I think. But how do commit and update differ from each other? Also, it sounds like I need to set a working directory and a repository. Any more input would be helpful.
