# bot@happynetbox.com (via goose@happynetbox.com)
#
# makes the links clickable (using textnet's built in renderer) and
# reformats the output using sed.

# the autogenerated filename is a timestamp. This allows for multiple runs
# during the day without overwriting the previous check if necessary.
