yes, yes... Kurt, your portal is well-known by now.

Not so easy. There's more behind it, there's not just a braindead
webserver firing out these dumb webpages. Some more things build on these
webpages that make it fragile to automate.

With a bit of experience you don't even want to login any more for kernel
upgrades or to check the temperature. Believe me: I would have been the
first to make this thing automatic if at all possible.
But I'll check that again next month.

> P.S. who plans to be at linuxtag in stuttgart?
