<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">Well I was using search and destroy scripts using the find command and it killed my logs. I deleted those policies and I shaved off, get this, an epic 5 gigs off of my MySQL database on the JSS. It looks like the find command was indexing every single file on the computer, which is like millions, and even with limited scope search paths it was still too much. </font> </p>

Right. I'd enter a message to display to the user, unless you want them to think that the app's failure to launch is a system issue, then you can have the help desk scold them when they call in. :) </p>

What I really like is that you can send email notifications and delete the offending app too. This eliminates the need for "search and destroy" scripts for offending apps that you know about and don't want on your systems. </p>
