Yup. I was thinking it would be good for a weekly (or daily) cron report delivered to your mailbox. Maybe an option to only send a diff from the previous run... > This will be especially true when you add > the ability to list packages and software installed.

I am not sure that a project of this scope really needs full blown sourceforge project page...a bug tracker, forums, and three pages just to download the thing seem a bit extreme...I think I can host from my site, at least for now. This isn't to say I don't appreciate testers and bug reports... I am still plugging away, and will try to have a real, polished tarball release with a man page etc up before the weekend is done. > M Thanks, -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
