Haha, and now that I think about it, what I did there didn't even pull all the images from the webpage which would be where the large amounts of data are. It would probably take a year of running my script to equal one normal visit to their webpage.

Man, this takes me back to the good ole days when I was a Unix sysadmin. Lots of HP-UX and Solaris, a little bit of Linux (twenty years ago when it was still pretty new...I did get out to Linux World in Boston one time though). The hardware engineers I supported would spend five hours automating something they could do manually in five minutes. Hahahahahaha! Love it!

(This is a joke y'all. I made that up. )
Maybe it will go live on Nov 3 but then they will make changes. The changes won't take effect until Jan 20, 2021.

Just to manage expectations a bit, the F150 B&P is still not consistently working.

I’m not saying nuthin’, I’m just saying. Know what I’m saying.

If you don't know what it means, that is indicative that you have a girlfriend. Or friends in general. It's geek stuff BUT it will let me know in 20 minutes or less when the build site goes live (assuming I have correctly assumed that they will structure the build site the same as they have for their other vehicles.). And when I know, you will know. So it works out for all.
I think this geekery will make you a LOT of friends here!!!! LOL
I'll pm you my cell so you can text me right away. (best way to contact me)
OK, Bud?
Thanks!

lol

Said it before and I'll say it again. I don't need to check or have an app checking for me. There are hundreds of people on here, BN and Facebook that will post about it the second it goes live. Then I will know.

Valid point. As you can probably tell from my profile, I don't spend as much time here as some do. Plus I just like the fact that I can be watching the football game and now that when that site goes live, I will get an audible notification without having to be watching my computer screen.

But honestly at the end of the day, I've just been trying to get better at bash scripting and this was a chance for me to see if I could build something that A) worked, and B) provided any degree of functionality for me.

You can use this under the Windows Subsystem for Linux using Ubuntu, Kali or Debian. If you use Windows to download the file, copy it and then dos2unix to convert the file properly (otherwise it won't run).

sudo apt install dos2unix
cp /mnt/c/Users/USERNAME/Downloads/bronco.txt ./bronco.sh
dos2unix bronco.sh
chmod +x bronco.sh
./bronco.sh

..for anyone running Windows 10. Replace USERNAME with your current Windows username (just type echo %USERNAME% at a command prompt to find it if you don't know). Just grab the WSL for the Microsoft store and setup the environment and you should be good to go.

If it's okay with the OP @Airforcetxn I might modify it with some user output so people know it is actually running and the last time check, etc.
