We could make /etc/rc.d/savecore (the script that runs crashinfo) also email root@ (or wherever the periodic output is set to go to) with a pointer to the output, and instuctions on what to do (either delete, or email it somewhere). The output isn't sanitised so we'd have to be careful here - we can't just suggest send-pr. Thanks, Gavin
