Then amdump runs off cron during the night. You get reports by email of problems and reports of the results of the dump. I suppose, if you didn't want to read your reports, you could have procmail or something route them all to a folder where something like SEC could scan them and then only generate an alert when there was something out of the ordinary or a specific problem.
