RE: [SAC] Added robots.txt

Perhaps an "allow from" entry for that file would be better, set to only
allow from the machine that triggers the cron job?

robots.txt is only advisory

Subject: [SAC] Added robots.txt

A question about spiders grabbing onto our cron job link came up on IRC.
Is it preferred to add a robots.txt to disallow this?

I have put one up at:
I've added the /var/www/html/robots.txt

Make sense to keep it?

Makes sense to me, but out of my realm. Someone else?
