I couldn't get BBSCRIPT to work on my windows MSI installs, so I had to
use the command option.  I think as long as the outpuit from your
command is put to STDOUT (?) it will appear in the message returned to
the server.  So you can probably use any file name for temp.  In a
Windows environment, you can either use "ECHO" or "Type" the file to
direct the output.  In the openmanage script, I added "type %TMPOUT%"
just before the section where the files get deleted.

I've used bigbrother for several years and am fairly familiar with it.
However, I need to start providing some stats regarding up-time, etc,
and bs seems to meet those requirements.  The graphs are a bonus.  Plus
the bs license is much better <G>.
