it took me 5 reads to get what you were saying (b/c I am, despite test scores in the mid 80s, dumb) but now that I have grasped what you are saying this IS BETTER than monitoring it! I will begin on this immediately.

I own Dave Roth's book on Win32 Perl Sys Admining and I will use it to implement this idea thank you!
