Sure, I could. But it would no longer match the new behaviour in 0.2-2. And it made more sense to me to bring it in line with the new version than to only change the success branch. And personally I believe it is better to use syslog than email to report such failures. It is stored locally on the machine, an is the first place I look on a server to see if something is wrong. syslog messages are also distributed to central syslog collectors for sites where syslog is used to track system wide status. Email on the other hand do not leave any error messages behind on the server to track down the problem for those that did not receieve the email. -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
