Addendum:
And we run one batch file for all ~20 hosts. This keeps it in one place for
easy editing, lets them run one after another (so there's no overlap) and lets
me do something like
    stats.bat >analog.log 2>&1
To capture the error messages that analog spits out for each report, so I can
review them when I wake up in the morning.

BTW, Stephen, you asked before whether a LOGOUT type option in the config was
a good idea. My vote is yes: With the above command line, I can only get the
current run's errors (or concatenate all runs, which gets huge fast). For
machines that don't support backticks (e.g. stats >`date %m%d`.log ) it would
be nice to have this capability (creating logfiles of analogs error messages
that are dated) in the configuration. (Of course then you'll have to create a
program to analyse the analog erros logs and create an HTML page for web
admins to read an overview of the errors on their large sites... :).
