yes, i think so :-)

such a script has multiple uses.
One,is like the exim case mentioned. Otheres, are when you nfs-share out
/opt/csw.
Or, replicate it.

Most people on this list wouldnt think of doing that sort of thing.
But a lot of large places, DO do that sort of thing.

there are a few other reasons too i think, but I'm writing in a hurry :)
