Well for our current system I have a wrapper I've written to make
using the builtin freebsd one easier to use. Unfourtunately for me most
of my NOC engineers are mostly windiots...and well the command line
confuses their little brains rather quickly. In addition I built the
wrapper for use with cron so that I can preprogram a client's vacation
autoresponder and well to be cliche 'I just set it and forget it'. My
next move was going to make the wrapper web enabled thus simplifying
things even more and bring it to a level that my windiots can
understand:: mouse clicks.
If I have to modify the thing ok but if not then even better.
