   Nice attempt at snip and run. Then again, you were simply talking out your   
   ass so it's no wonder you did this.  Here... let me restore what you snipped   
   and ran away from:   
      
      
   What my scripts do (from my earlier post) is:   
      
      
   Things that get recorded are:   
      
     the hardware inventory   
     free disk space   
     any hardware or system errors, etc.   
      
      
   If a hardware configuration changes - I get notified.   
   If a new device driver is installed - I get notified.   
   If a computer starts getting low on disk space,   
   is having hardware errors, system errors or is missing   
   service packs or is running an old version of Flash... I get notified.   
      
      
   So do tell me *exactly* how AutoYast or KickStart would automatically record   
   the hardware inventory in a database. Or notify me if the hardware in a   
   machine changes. How would AutoYast or Kickstart tell me if a machine is low   
   on diskspace or if a machine is having hardware errors or system errors.
