Right. It's pretty easy to set up the RTABLE to forward only the important messages to someone who can act on them. I've even forwarded them to a Linux/Unix syslogd that did text messages on the cell phone. Even when you don't want to write advanced action routines for automated operations, there's some free bonus: - retains a log file on disk that you can review when diagnosing problems (also when the log was closed because spool filled up) - allow "friends" to issue privileged commands (that get logged too) so you can run during the day without high CP privs Rob
