So starting with
OS-ERR would make it clear I suppose?

in regards to my last

Yes I know but there are so many different OS messages that if I could just
distinguish between OS messages and actual check result generically that
would be much more efficient.  Also I cannot create an alert where extra
info should not contain a or b or c.  Therefore I must put in the ones where
I would want the alert and since the countfiles could any integer
(realistically in my situation 5 or 10) I would have a hug number of
duplicate alerts for each integer.
