Hi Jens,

scripts are for me easier than the WEB interface if they will work I might 
even start to use them also for normal requests because they can be 
integrated in the management environment.

I have all the scripts that have been written up to now. I only need to 
find the time to test them. One of the things I'm a bit worried about for 
the tests is that they might interfere with the normal CA activity. Is 
there any suggestion for this?

Anyway I'll wait for the ticket to move the discussion out of the storage 
mailing list.

thanks

cheers
alessandra
