Anything that has a command line utility that gives you text output displaying the status of your array can be scripted to create your own plug in. You just may need to know a little sh/perl/python to get it done. What utility do you use to check the status of your array now? Can you give me some sample output? Perhaps I have the time to script something for you today. ----- Eric F Crist Secure Computing Networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
