Ugh. I swear I looked around for something like this a few months ago when this was first written, and didn't find anything. At first glance, it does seem that hugeadm will do the bulk of things for me. Okay, I'll go back to the drawing board for a bit, and see if this is at all necessary any more (or if it simply needs to be updated to use hugeadm for some of the things its doing now). -- Jarod Wilson ja...@redhat.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
