Ok, I'll modify the above. Log what the script normally does, log and 
email on problems. This way, when you investigate a problem, you have an 
activity log to help you.

You know that you can tell syslog to send a log to another computer? You 
could send the warning log of all computers to a single file.


Hum! What if the problem is with email? You could have a script sound the 
"All hands, abandon ship, report to your designated escape pod" voice 
recording :-p
