I'd be all for that too. Actually, I'd be all for going one step further and write a program(or if one like that already exists, put it in base) that checks/monitors the health of the hardware. Bad hardware (drives, memory etc) are sneaky fuckers that tend to bite when one doesn't expect it. I dont know how one would go about making such software but going forward, a cluster of ie. 32 DF servers would be difficult to monitor for health and such software would just make it much easier. In my opinion. Petr
