Hello, I was wondering if it would be useful to have a '--dry-run' option that went through all of the motions of the script and checked that it was set up to work correctly etc. to test the settings etc that the user provided? As the name implies it would not actually perform the test but just test it. Great script btw!

@nycmitch25 That's a good idea. I have to study if it does not add to much complexity. I will work on the next release in May / June, and might add this feature.
