Hi ED:
Yes, I know, but it is not fully the thing I am thinking in. I think in
something more intrusive, where the program does not wait us to see the log and
get our conclusions. Neither Rebel has a database of tipical positions to play
if the program catch our tipical wrongdoings. I hope you can implement something
of he sort in a near future.
Cheers
Fernando
