Already, mornings are dragging on. Especially Monday mornings. And there's at least that again out there that I would *like* to start reading, but I just don't have the time for it. I have a couple of ideas for a periodic status output aggregation system, but before I try to re-invent the wheel, what do other people do with root's e-mail? Read it individually? Parse it, and only pass on the interesting tidbits? Flat out ignore it, and use other utilities to check system sanity? (I've pondered doing this last one many a time.) TIA. - Damian
