Well, of course the big "S" will have done this. :) This is his baby, so
I imagine he's tested everything about it.
As I pointed out to Brett, I did it more as a proof-of-concept, so
authentication was never considered.
The advantage, for me, of my dynamic code, is if the application fails,
or is sending out alarms, I can send a command to restart it, or tell it
to shut up. All I have to do is send it an email and tell it to "get a
grip". :)
