Astually I'm well aware of that. I was wondering why you didn't script
something yourself, but you have answered that below. Sorry though, wasn't
in any way trying to imply that you couldn't do it yourslef, or that I
could do it better. Just thought I'd offer - having someone else find
something useful is often more of a motivator to get me to do something,
than my own need. :)

I guess the only thing would be that it is installed by default on RH :)
