You could write a diff of the file as written by the programme against the file as would be generated from the templates. Existence of a diff would trigger warnings to the user whenever possible to reintegrate the diff into the templates. I use this system for my SSH known_hosts management: new hosts are added to a temporary file, and SSH (wrapped by a zsh function) warns me of its existence, meaning that I have to integrate new hosts. -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "it usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. -- mark twain spamtraps: madduck.bo...@madduck.net
