Looks nice.

Maybe you could share this script ? I could use a squatter with some 
parallelization and a way to stop it when the load is starting to grow 
(like in the morning). I guess it could be modified to use other 
parameters to know when to stop : number of logged-in users or imap/pop 
processes, system load...
