It would be something similar to a initd startup script.. Smilie

Code:
  #!/bin/sh
  
  case "$1" in
    start)
      #Not entirely sure of how I would loop this sequence w/o cron
      #Also, on second try and consecutive thereafter it needs to 
      #first check to make sure that at least two txt files reside
      #in the current directory.. I haven't implemented this yet here since
      #i'm not sure of how it would loop
        
        ./page4mod0.sh &&;
	./page4mod99.sh &&;
        sleep 45;
        ;;
     #Not sure how to approach this part.. i could have it diff'd then compared in a temp file
     #or throw them into variables then compared.. think i'd prefer memory here though so let's try..
          A=`head -n4 pagemod.txt`
          B=`head -n4 pagemod0.txt`
           if [ "$A" = "$B" ]
           then #Do nothing
           echo >dev/null
           else 
          C=`head -n5 pagemod.txt`
          D=`head -n5 pagemod0.txt`
           mail@user@home.com -f `echo "$C -----  $D" > mailer.txt ;cat pagemod.txt >> mailer.txt ; cat pagemod0.txt >> mailer.txt`
          fi
        ;;
    stop)
        echo -n "Shutdown and cleanup"
        kill -9 page4mod0.sh;
        kill -9 page4mod0.sh;
	rm *.html *.txt;
        ;;
    restart)
        #This isn't entirely necessary now but it would be nice if i could tell it
	#to run the stop sequence.. wait.. then start it back up again.. later

    status)
        # Again not entirely necessary but just check for process other than 
	#the current and report pid
        ;;
    *)
        ## If no parameters are given, print which are avaiable.
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
        exit 1
        ;;

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME
service - run a System V init script SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS] service --status-all service --help | -h | --version DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /. The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command. service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it. FILES
/etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts. ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts. SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton, update-rc.d(8), init(8), invoke-rc.d(8). Jan 2006 service(8)
