Hey...

Any chance of getting a look at the code for fannyd? It seems a shame for the utility to be described if no-one except the author can use it! It would seem to do exactly what I need...

Forum topic

There (kind of) is a forum topic concerning this. You may want to post there to get things jump-started. here
