Let's chat on IRC if you're interested. My intend for writing a central script some years ago was: * make the script more intelligent * provide a single interface for all tasks * prevent duplication of shellscript code * improve usability from users point of view I think the current implementation is ok from user-view - but i think the logic is a too complex. Probably many aspects of the script would be better to be part of the java implementation..... Regards Marc -- GPG encryption available: 0x670DCBEC/pool.sks-keyservers.net
