I run this from cron nightly and send the resulting score to a remote machine. If all else fails there is a script in /sys/src/cmd/venti/words/dumpvacroots which interogates the http server built into venti and prints all the recent root scores. I have had to use this in the past when I had a dead disk and was less carefull with my scores - all was fine, but I learnt my lesson. -Steve
