Even better, it wil log to FI /var/log/alert, you can get it mailed to a mailbox with the smallest script the minute it happens. Catching a (new) daemon or even some evil haxxor d00d overflowing your stack the minute it happens is a definite advantage over having to wait for someone to discover a typo.
