OK, to say thank your for your i have another patch for the notify plugin:

* Because i got the following error message from SF
diff: unrecognized option `--normal' diff: Try `diff --help' for more information.
i introduce constants for diff_exe and diff params.

* Because i really want to have a GlobalNotify i patched the plugin to retrieve the notify from a GlobalNotify page too.

I will send you the diff via private mail.

milky: Ah, I always wondered why the hell it didn't work on SourceForge!! I'm missing that feature really badly, too. To the "GlobalNotify": I had probably changed it similarily - but I'll first look into your submission, many thanks meanwhile!

Oh, best is that if you use diff in the SourceForge shell service it will work with --normal. Only if called via the webserver it's not working..... Mystical....

milky: That is because, the *WebServer and the *ShellServer are distinct machines. Typically that means the *WebServer runs under *SunOs or so and all the useful and more user-friendly GNU/Linux utilities aren't available. I could sing a song from that :(

Henner: Better :( I tested this and the *WebServer is a linux machine too. But with an different diff!!! Great SF :(
