Automatic Web Page Refresher
Hello All,
I am looking for an automatic web page refresher that works in Ubuntu. I have seen a bunch out there that are only made for windows.
Reason: My friends band needs to get a lot of hits on their myspace page so that club owners will consider them. I thought this would be more affective than having 1000 people hit refresh 1000 times.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

There are Firefox extensions, e.g. this one, that can do stuff like this. You could also write a script using wget, for example.
But any decent hit counter is going to know what you're doing, which is basically click fraud, although in the case of Myspace I don't think it matters.

you can create a new html file and add the code bellow to refresh the given website every 15 seconds..ofcourse this will only work if your friends profile has a VERY VERY simple hit counter.it ONLY works with poor free hitcounters.
Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="pl" xml:lang="pl"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="15;> <head> <title>Javascript IFrame Reload</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <iframe id="reloader" width="500" height="400" src="YOUR FRIEND'S WEBPAGE"/> </body> </html>

thanx for the script ebeBoxNet, it works sweet!!just to mention there's a typo with CONTENT="15;> which should be CONTENT="15;"> but anyway, I mention this only for people who really don't have a clue on html.
cheers
