Yes, 3 years, i see. Hoped there would be already something, but all this seems to be rather new to distribution defaults. One more thing to think that we should have it. But writing a new plugin makes my planning of a new release somehow more diffcult. >> One more thing is that initng blocks the first console, is it >> possible to move it to another one?

Ok, perhaps i´ ll try that, for now i really like the idea having it on the first console for control issues. How stable is the svn trunk? Should it be better to use this one for now or do you think waiting for a next release would be the better choice?
