1197670	2011-04-27 08:14:00	set -ae in the actual script is causing the script to just exist without doing anything (or doesn't appear to do anything). Replacing it with a set -a or just removing it altogether seems to make it run at least.Removing the '-e' is something I'd rather not do (-e causes the script to bail in case of an unhandled error); I'd rather fix the cause of the issue. The problem you noticed has now been fixed - it was related to the detection of tempfile.	Erayd (23)

1197674	2011-04-27 08:29:00	Thank you - it now uses /var/log/messages if present. Another thought is... I think some linux versions use /var/adm/messages (or similar?)	somebody (208)
1197675	2011-04-27 08:33:00	Errors caused by X being completely missing are now fixed. The errors you're getting about hardware should remain - they're basically saying that you don't have the standard hardware info tools installed, and I'd consider that to be something worthy of an error message. I've made them a little more user-friendly though; they now show up in the log rather than in the output.	Erayd (23)
1197676	2011-04-27 08:34:00	Another thought is... I think some linux versions use /var/adm/messages (or similar?)I think that's a Solaris thing - which this script doesn't really target, as it assumes it's running in a standard Linux environment.	Erayd (23)

[jennifer@myth ~]$ My own computer is telling tales on me!! :eek: Let alone this bash lecture: We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility.	Jen (38)
