When will automatix be back

[Vyasram]

^^
i just made a new install of edgy ( my first successful one of this version)
and i am shocked to find automatix dead,

anyone knows when it will be back?

the admin in some IRC chat said the site was completely hacked and all data was eliminated.they are trying for a work-around.
news:
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Im...x_site_is_down

...and now as of 2007-03-09 12:33 EET/GMT+2, the topic of #automatix on FreeNode is:
" -!- Topic for #automatix: The Automatix server has been hacked and everything wiped out. This was the cause of the recent downtime. Resurrecting automatix from here is a huge task and as Team Lead I cannot promise anything from here.. I will see what I can do"

though without automatix,is that really hard to get extra repos and using apt-get install foobar

thanks for the info

abt the apt-get thing

i'm on a bsnl plan 500, so i wud just set automatix on 2am and goto sleep ,
but with apt-get , is there any way to automize the installation of those software

in edgy , goto add remove programs,select all the programs u wanna install and then apply ,all will be done by itself. it cant get simpler.

use synaptic.

~$gkudo /usr/sbin/synaptic

choose the software u want;select.so u have dataone BB.
U can use some gui for cron daemon -the schedular for GNU/Linux
set cron to cut off the BB @ 7:58 AM tomorrow-if u start manually d/l @ 2 AM tomorrow

~$sudo crontab -e

add the following lines:

58 7 10 3 6        /usr/bin/poff dsl-provider

Save the lines by pressing CTRL+O;then exit CTRL+X.
try:

~$sudo crontab  -l

thanks a ton guys

i've previously asked in the bb sticky on crontab, no one replied yet, so thanks a lot

for more info read from command terminal :
"man 5 crontab"
AS You Know "man cmdname" details about almost all installed commands.
after setting crontab,just restart cron to make sure things works!

sudo  /etc/init.d/cron restart

Automatix site is back - http://www.getautomatix.com/

On March 7, 2007, our website was attacked by a malicious individual who used a PHP vulnerability in our forum to delete our entire website. We are currently working hard to restore the forum. The wiki, repo and keys have been restored already, so you can install and use Automatix.

SO PHP is such vulnerible?!
