this is possible, since it sends an email when it starts and stops and it would stop when the vserver stops. I could modify the MailTo RA so it only sends an email when it starts, but then I wouldn't receive an email if the vserver couldn't be started (which of course I want to know). Is there a way to do this that I'm missing? -- Dan Urist durist at ucar.edu 303-497-2459 (office) 303-961-2675 (cell)
