The script will only live if people are using it and maintaining it. I think the "local" was a recent addition, I don't recall the script not working on any specific platform. That can be fixed easily. I recall objections for this script to being a bash script only on this list not too long ago. I think it was because bash is not always installed, not sure. I'd rather see the script be fixed to work for the largest number of users. BTW, I pushed your patch a couple of days ago, thanks. Gaetan </BODY> </HTML>
