CannonFodder:
Doesnt that assume the user has sudo access? I happen to know about it because some of the developers like to complain that it isnt set up on some of the test environments and that they dont have permission to fiddle with stuff.
Of course they shouldnt - otherwise the test environment is basically not an exact replica of the live system. Or so I like to remind them ;-)
Then when they complain even more I can slope off and get on with technical writing having remided them Im nothing to do with server admin :-P
