Whatever you like the best ;-) There is nothing wrong with editing the script to change the default behaviour.

One more thing I'd like to ask. I like verbose output, and use the -v option when I run the script. In the script there are VERBOSE and VERBOSE2 options. Is it enough to change VERBOSE -q to VERBOSE -v to get verbose output?

Thanks.

So there are your variables you need to set...
I also noticed that I no longer use that VERBOSE2 variable in the script... so it will go in the next update.
