         Then edit smoke.sh (line 6) and mkovz.pl (line 5) to reflect
         the location (directory) of your smoking pit
  
  Where: In your smoking pit
  
  When:  Whenever you set cron to execute smoke.sh (be sure it can find
         mktest.pl in your path.
  
         When the smoking is done, call mkovz.pl, which creates an
         overview and mails it to getpwuid ($<). If you want to mail it
         somewhere else (e.g.  [email protected]), change the
         last line of mkovz.pl
  
  Why:   1. it's fun
         2. p5p would love to see tons of 'O's appear in your report
         3. we look for a large covarage of systems
