Re: Timestamping and Syncing specific objects using wget

It may also be worth mentioning that this uses iMonitor's built-in
functionality and that one must still find the EID of the object to be
timestamped, probably via iMonitor or LDAP. Also while one is running the
wget command be aware that the username and password will be visible to
anybody who sees the process list (with the 'ps' or 'top' commands, for
example) so it may be worthwhile to be a bit cautious there.
Neat setup in the end. Thanks for posting about it.
Good luck.

I'm considering having this published as a cool tool, but as the idea for
it came form you I'm hesitant for fear of looking like too much of a pig.

Let me know if you'd rather do it yourself.
