Might want to be careful with the always answering "Y" thing, though...or at least make sure you have periodic backups ready to go in case the repair further loses data in the process. Is there an area that seems to be needing repairs in particular? Maybe you could find a way to move it to another drive so the system will come up more reliably and then other processes can remotely check the unmountable drive and remount it and start your process monitoring. > PS.

Unless the replier removes the personal address or the reply function on their mail client is only using a primary address (of the list) to send to, you'll get replies on both...depending on the issue some people prefer getting a response personally faster than waiting for the list to send it if for some reason it's bogging down :-)
