sorry for keeping you waiting so long for such a simple matter. I was
planning to do it "properly", but my time is currently in short supply, so
here's a quick hack for the time being:
change line 40:
-foreach my $host (@hosts) {
+foreach my $host (@ARGV ? @ARGV : @hosts) {
Now any parameters to the script will be interpreted as host names to report
on. Without parameters you get a full list.

Well, you *could* add something like
my $topdir = $bpc -> TopDir ();
open XFERLOG, "/path/to/BackupPC_zcat
$topdir/pc/$host/XferLOG.$backup->{num}.z |"
or die "Can't BackupPC_zcat XferLOG: $!\n";
while (<XFERLOG>) {
print
if /DENIED/ and not /System Volume Information|RECYCLER|Watson/;
}
close XFERLOG; # or error handling, really
after line 67 (the "*WARNING* Backup with ERRORs!" line), but you probably
want a proper MIME attachment (even more so if you call it for more than one
host at a time!), meaning you want to integrate sending the e-Mail into the
script, requiring option handling and so on. I'll get back to it, but not in
the next few weeks.

Holger
