I had assumed that the e-mail would be sent off-site (off the machine that's running the command), which makes sense - otherwise, why wouldn't you just run the command directly? <shrug> Either way, the solutions are good - regardless of whether or not it's a one-liner or a Perl script... but I like mine better. ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
