Raj, Not wanted to speak for the author of the script but... I'm assuming the script did what HE/SHE wanted. It is useful to him/her. If your needs and requirements are different than perhaps you could make the necessary changes to the script (it has given you a good template for how to do the various critical pieces such as sending out emails, etc.) and you can then post the New and Improved script back to CDI and the IIUG Archives. I believe that this is what OPEN SOURCE is all about. Yes? Rob Vorbroker > Hello all, > > I have downloaded the ALARM script from the IIUG site and implemented > in > our system.
