Not sure I understand that comment. Or rather I am sure I do not. |

Thanks for the handy list. I know all those tools of course but |
| 12 |
assumed someone would have had enough time during those 35 yrs to have |
| 13 |
assembled a nifty script that I could just edit for my own needs. |

I've never subscribed to the fool notion that I must do it myself from |
| 16 |
the ground up, mainly so that I could smugly stroke my grey guru |
| 17 |
beard. I'd happily save a good bit of time instead. |

I'm sure many such scripts have been written in the past 35yrs. I |
| 20 |
hoped a few would have become famous and available by name that I |
| 21 |
could simply edit. |

You mentioned possibly obscure system inventory scripts in perl. |
| 24 |
So apparently you already know it can be a time consuming undertaking |
| 25 |
to dig one up with google, test it, etc etc. |

Do you know of one off the top of your head? Hopefully not too |
| 28 |
obscure. |
