Hey, thanks everyone for the kind words. It's taken a while to get there, although not as long as my profile might suggest, since I didn't start contributing until about a year ago!! And I can't believe I've never submitted a question - not *really* being lazy, I just work on such old kit, that I never have anything new to ask a question about!! That's also the reason I can't answer a whole lot more too...and I know there's a bunch of equally if not more competent scripters out there, it's just the one topic that broadly hardware-independent, so I can normally have a good stab at these.
Just quickly, I'm in my early 40's, two children (my son's travelling around Australia, my daughter's at Warwick University), married for 25 years (all right then, I'm in my mid-40's). Don't laugh, but my brother was on TV last week in...wait for it..."Britain's Brainiest Estate Agent" - now there's a collection of words you don't see together very often - only kidding Andy! I've got a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and my hobbies include running and car restoration, although there's never much time for the latter - oh yeah, and bailing my son out when he runs out of cash in Australia!!
Hope to keep checking the Forum as often as I can. Anyone who subscribes to SysAdmin Mag can see an (old) article I'm having published in the April 2002 issue, so happy reading, and happy forum'ing.
Rgds, Robin.
