To some extent I like this idea, and it would conform nicely to the
feature added in 1.1.4 about a server contact[0], which is also read
by my scripts (see the address@hidden in the status list). Currently I only see 
8
operators that have added this information to their configs and a
threshold for when to send an email would have to be established. I'll
give it some thoughts, although I probably won't add any new features
until the server has gotten a well-deserved upgrade, in particular on
RAM [1]. I have actually received this order already, but will need to
find a time to travel to the facility to add it, currently the next
scheduled trip is in March.
