Hmmm... How do you feel about pushing configs to clients? (or
pulling from).. The configuration could be maintained on the server
and every 8 hours or so (configurable) the client requests a
configuration update.
You can probably use the same alerting mechanism from the procs and
disks columns.

I haven't had a chance to look at the client that much (only installed
it last night).. Where do we add something for this?
clientlaunch.cfg?

Adding the scripts is a piece of cake in this client (Thanks!!).. For
right now where would we disable the client msgs? (I am running the
4.1.2 snapshot)..
