I found this to be an extremely useful feature when trying to figure
out what foreign programs do. For example, not being a mail wizard,
I would like to see where my implementation of mail is looking for
guidance (i.e. files to read information from) when sending mail.
I realize that there are other sources for mail information, but
mail was of course only an example.

Thanks for the script to monitor login/logouts.
