trend-update.pl v1.00 released

Hello,

Trend pattern numbers 2.160 and 2.180 have passed and the  version  of
trend-update.pl in use on our own mail  server  runs  smoothly,  so  I
think that I can assume that Trend's transition to NPF is done now, and
I can release my script for whomever wants it.

I have added a small README file as desirable.

Therefore  I'm  pleased  to  announce  that  trend-update.pl  v1.00  is
available for download from
http://itsec.ait.ac.th/download/local/trend-update.tar.gz

***NOTE***

Although  I make this announce here, trend-update.pl is NOT a 'vtool',
Vanja  has  nothing  to do with it, don't contact him about that script.
The bugs are mine.

>From the README:

DESCRIPTION

This Perl script is indented to automate the download of Trend Micro's
virus pattern files and scanning engine on a Linux machine.
Although Trend Products (ServerProtect, VirusWall) have their own
built-in update mechanisms, I have found them not flexible and too
silent in their operation. Furthermore they don't allow automatic
downloading of the Controlled Pattern Releases (CPRs), the "beta test"
patterns that provide detection for newer threats quicker than the
official releases (VPNs).
I  have  therefore  written this script, which allows total control on
what is downloaded (VPNs, CPRs, engine), which reports by mail, can keep a
detailed log of actions and can even manage links to the various
locations the pattern and engine files may be needed on a system (e.g.
/etc/iscan, /opt/trend/ISBASE/IScan.BASE, /opt/TrendMicro/SProtectLinux).
This script is expected to be run on mail scanning gateways running
Trophie (http://www.vanja.com), the daemonized front-end for Trend
Micro's scanning engine. Trophie is usually called by Amavisd-new
(http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/).  Both  are  extremely efficient
and reliable  pieces  of  open-source  software to build an excellent mail
virus scanning gateway.

Greets,
