Starting to actually implement something in collectl it occurs to me that if I have the commands in a file I need to make sure the file wasn't accidentally deleted by someone which while doable is one more pain... Are there any tricks to doing this sort of thing from a command line and avoiding the file? Another potential use might be if you're running diskless. -mark
