  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>Idea from thebeast
  35 </I>&gt;<i>i thinking to use it than to grep this part from the xml file
  36 </I>&gt;<i>and check this with the current version on the backup server
  37 </I>&gt;<i>so that this can start a update script that will update that
  38 </I>&gt;<i>server if the versions are different
  39 </I>
  40      I don't know about you, but I'd be very, very afraid to have a script
  41 that automatically compiled and installed programs on my server.  Even
  42 setting aside the threat of someone tricking your script into doing nasty
  43 things, I might accidentally release a version that corrupts your data
  44 files, and then boom, you're screwed.  (I wouldn't do this intentionally,
  45 of course, but I'm only human, and I make mistakes occasionally.)
  46
  47 &gt;<i>Idea from Rodecker
  48 </I>&gt;<i>the version check can also be used for newer release that have
  49 </I>&gt;<i>newer/beter options that are not in the older versions so
  50 </I>&gt;<i>the --import commandline option can check if the xml dump
  51 </I>&gt;<i>is suitable for that version of ircservices
  52 </I>
  53      It's already designed so that missing information will be set to
  54 appropriate values (unless I screwed up somewhere).  There's no need for
  55 an extra check of this kind.
