That would work, sure. Alternatively, you can cd into the directory and run it from there.
Sure, if that was the thread that was created last, do
my $endtopic = 543;
It's not the most recent thread with a new post, it's the most recent first post in a thread, made in any subforum. If you're really out of sorts, make a new thread and see what number you get. On the other hand, if you're not sure, just add a hundred or so to your best guess, and the bot will ignore threads not created yet.
Just general advice, and this is to everyone -- it's hard to permanently screw up your computer by accident on the command line. Back in the elder days you could typo rm -r ./ as rm -r /. and delete everything on your hard drive, but by the year 2000 or so they realized this was really bad and prevent you from doing it. Don't be afraid of your computer.
Oh, and make backups! At work our data managers accidentally drop the wrong table so often it's embarrassing. But we always have backups, so clients keep paying us the big bucks. Not saying that there's a risk with my software, it's just good practice.
