Hey,

I know nothing about Macs, but setting up a cron job should surely be the same as on bsd? or any other unix for that matter? why not google for "cron job tutorial"?

I dunno how much success u'll have with getting someone to send you a copy, but what does the homing beacon do? send the IP address to an email address???

surely a simple bash(? is it bash on macs?) would work?

use this method here to get your IP --> http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/13/1.php

And then modify this autoresponder to use sendmail to send it? http://www.geocities.com/usmbish/hdi-autoresponder.html

youll probably have more success creating your own that trying to get someone to send you the article
