Some: - You could set $verbose=false perhaps (or "-d verbose=false" on the commandline) and the report would be much smaller, not sure if that's small enough for you. - Check the exit status of flexbackup and mail yourself only if non-zero - "grep -i error" the log file? Or tail the last bit of it. Getting the backup size depends on your setup (which is why there isn't a generic report like this yet!) You can grep the "total bytes written" message from "buffer" out, that tells you the total size for each. Or you can use if using a tape you could use mt status or mt tell * blocksize. Maybe egrep -i "(error|of set|Backup of|bytes written)" <logfile> will do the trick for you :) (There does need to be something like this in the program itself, I agree. How to cover all the cases and differences is the hard bit.) -Edwin -- Edwin Huffstutler [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG Key ID: AE782DC9 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
