perhaps that should be the default then? (I know its probably "user"<br>

most myth systems). Theres just no accounting for the eagerness of<br>
people to run commands to see what they do, rather than reading the<br>

I would suggest adjusting the script so that one *has* to give it an option, say either "--link" or "--change" (or something) to run properly, and without one or the other it would just give you the "--help" options. That would ensure we don't get posts like the OP's which turn up here about every 3 months or so.<br>

Personally, I'd split the script into two, one for each job.<br></blockquote><div><br>I agree with the first paragraph. I thought I knew what I was getting into since I ran it with --link first, saw what I liked and ran it without --link. Little did I know about the unsupported characters and auto-expire not working. :-) Sounds like the script should be modified to change any ASCII character > 127 in the title to a character <= 127, right? Would that fix the problem?<br>
