Hi, why do we send all these empty headings for periodic emails or given = there is no output to this one can we 1) suppress the empty sections (to me that sounds a bit like a wrong return code or something maybe?), and 2) add an option to suppress "empty" periodic emails entirely? Sample: ------- Removing stale files from /var/preserve: Cleaning out old system announcements: Removing stale files from /var/rwho: Backup passwd and group files: Verifying group file syntax: /etc/group is fine Security check: (output mailed separately) Checking for denied zone transfers (AXFR and IXFR): -- End of daily output -- ------- I'd also like to get the hostname out of the headings of the security = emails if possible. It's in the Subject:. There's no need to have each = section header starting differently. I understand that it would be a POLA problem = given a lot of people parse these emails automatically so adding an option for that = would be ok with me as well. Any takers? /bz --=20 Bjoern A.
