I don't have any problem with running on start-up, or daily, or whatever (as long as it's not in constant communication with the mothership, sucking up bandwidth and system resources).

I don't need my bootup time or my networking restart time slowed down by several minutes. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Leon Festinger: "A man with a conviction is a hard man to change.
