Like I said before, something that I'd be planning on doing for a bit
and was planning on doing this weekend, I had a rather quiet night at 
work so inspired by the demand I had a bit of a scripting session. :-)

A little bit of sql and ksh[1] later and I have a beta that works and 
is undergoing testing now...

Need to do a little bit more work to make it easier and to schedule restarts

for cron jobs and it'll be perfect.

Got to do some phoning round for my bike insurance now
(*mutter*grumble*money*grabbing*lazy*bunch*of*gits*ahem)
but should have something later today (well today for me anyway ;-) )
