Well, sorta like that.  But I would rather have one that doesn't
currently exist.  After all, I wouldn't want to look foolish when
I recommend it over the one I forgot about that is already in the
system. 8^)

Thanks for the pointer/reminder.

And I think that batch would have been better for that former
employer as well, except for NIH.  After all, some PHB read an
article about how to turn the lpd system into /usr/bin/batch, and
was quite proud of the fact that he could implement it after reading
the trade rag de jour.  And then his pet had the inertia of a large
corporate system depending on it...
