# This Python script was written to forward interface down messages

# Modified: 10/04/05 changed os.system to use raw("r") strings. Used % and join method to join
# the sys.argv's. replaced list generating lines with one line of code.

Again, thank you all for your input. I greatly appreciated it!!!! Let me know if you have any further suggestions.

You don't seem to have incorporated any of the suggestions that you have received!
I doubt that a 4000-line ini file will be any problem at all.
