Hi,
One remark: Would you consider to name them as bud01,bud02,..
rather than bud1,bud2..; just in case the host names need to be
sorted, they appear in 'correct' order as:
bud01,bud02,bud03,...,bud24
rather than:
bud1,bud2,bud20,...,bud24,bud3,bud4, etc...
This -may- be useful when dealing with the outputs of the
scripts.
