A question! I'm just curious, but
shouldn't this be written in such a way to do a sudo rather 
than make this a root owned script? I mean root owned scripts
are a generally a bad thing right?
I like this script better too. It's self-documenting with the use
of the named variables and doesn't use the more arcane set
command.
