11 # It's a bit peculiar, but quite effective. The following is worth keeping in
14 # Because of the way we run this script from cron, informational logging goes
15 # to stderr and warnings and errors to stdout. This way, we get mail whenever
16 # stuff fails, and other output is redirected to the log file.
18 # The script is halfway Norwegian and halfway English. Newer modifications are
19 # in English, we should probably stick to that.
