Thanks, Garance. That's all good advice. A similar thing that I recommend to new sysadmins is that their scripts halt on some threshold. For example, if the number of archives to delete is more than something reasonable (in my case... 10) then halt or ask for confirmation.
In this case I'm writing something that is fully automated so doing all those kind of checks is very important. Best, Tom Limoncelli -- Email: [email protected] Work: [email protected] Skype: YesThatTom Blog: http://EverythingSysadmin.com
