For those who want to monitor a cups print server, here's a definition you can put in your bb-services file: [cupsd] send "GET /printers\r\n" expect "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" port 631 Alternatively, you could just use http://host:631/printers in your bb-hosts file. The cupsd is, for monitoring purposes, a web server. -Jeff "Fun with Users #1: ln -s /dev/random /etc/motd"
