I suspect that the people requesting this really want a unified management tool (GUI and possibly CLI). Whether the actual implementation were inside of the filesystem code, or implemented via cron or equivalent is probably irrelevant. Their point, I think, is that we've got this nice "management free" technology ... except for these bits that still have to be done independently, and (to the non-unix experienced somewhat) arcane. If we aspire to achieve the sort of user friendlyness that is the Mac, then there's work to be in this area ;> -- Keith H.
