Miroslav,

I saw the delete-systems utility, but it didn't give us all the functionality 
we wanted (a report by the system group that the machines exist in, multiple 
idle times in one run of the script, control over the line format). Perhaps a 
feature request to bugzilla would be in order? 

Thanks,
Dave
