In an article regarding the May 1999 hack
of the White House web site, a journalist
writes, "the White House hack lasted for
only a few minutes, due to what is known
as a 'crontab,' a timed command set by the
system administrator. This command
automatically refreshes the entire site with
identical content from a secure server to
help guard against the kind of attack
that took place Monday."
I would like to implement something similar
for my web sites. Does any one have ideas
on how to do this (if it's possible)
or perhaps might point me in the direction
of some helpful tutorials?
Thanks very much!
