Before use

Mechanize and netrc are needed:

sudo gem install mechanize netrc

Mechanize, as well as the rest of your Ruby gems, can be kept up to date using the command:

sudo gem update

On the intital run, we need to add your login credential to your users ~/.netrc file, so we don't leave your username and password in the process ID, which could be seen by other users on the system (note: the initial run of this script will show up in your bash history).

An entry in ~/.netrc is created for you. You can then use '-n' and it will poll the netrc file for your login credentials.
