Hi Bob/Boris,

You both understand the question correctly. Return codes and time
stamps are all great but don't tell me anything two weeks later when I
can't remember if my last buildworld worked or not.The answers so far
are what I expected; what I am wondering is if there was a nifty trick
I didn't know. The answer seems to be RYO or Jenkins.  :)

Thanks,

Russ
