I have a simple script that counts up the number of spam messages each day and prints the total number into a text field. This is fine as far as it goes, however I would like to also include the date and the number of non-spam messages. I can get this to run, however each piece of information

The permissions and user/group ids are stored on the ext2 partition. As always ;-) The fact that the ount point has one set of those before, and another after mount can be a bit confusing. To clarify : After mount, the root of the filesytem on /dev/hda1 becomes /home/storage/store. The origina
