I'm modifying a script that the programmers use here so they can get the changes made uploaded to the servers automatically. We need them to put in some comments along with the request to upload. There are two scripts, the request script and the upload script. I cannot permenantly modify the upload script so we have the request script append a few lines of code to a temp copy of the upload script that will send out an email with the comments after the changes have been uploaded(ie the upload script is run).
There's the purpose.
Its pretty much just because my 'superiors' don't want the upload script modified so appending a couple lines is my work around.
