Thanks. If only I could! The unix box a) has no web service, and b) has no ssh service! And *I*, being a lowly "support engineer," at a remote location, have no juice with the admin. I was told that the "eod" script didn't run one day and no one noticed until too late, so I better be sure I check it. I wrote this and set up an "at" process on NT so that, even if I forgot, I would have a record of it running (or not). In fact, the perl on the unix box is 5.005, with almost no modules and the OS is Solaris 4.something (7?). ~Scary~
Then perhaps you ought to just create a cron job to scan the
log and email an appropriate excerpt to you periodically. This way you don't
need to expose your password over the net.
