+version 0.4.3 -- ????
results of handlers are now read line by line.
- changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is not necessarily days now.
+ changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is
+ not necessarily days now (ie, it will pass straight through to
+ rdiff-backup if the keep has a unit on it, otherwise it adds the 'D').
added dup handler (still pretty beta)
added maildir handler (very specialized handler)
added --run option (runs the specified action file)
improved sys handler, now uses hwinfo
+ added PATH to cron.d file, which fixes file not found errors.
version 0.4.2 -- Jan 6 2005
fixed bug which caused a report email to be sent even if no actions were run.
