Thank you all, these are very helpful!

This is a production server, so I can't make *any* changes like installing software, not even Who is Active.

But what I can do is include such software/scripts when I write my build documents. No one actually ever reads them, so that's how I can sneak in basically whatever I want. The document is approved, I build the production server, and presto! My tools are included.

I will make another post showing what I include in my builds, and ask what others include. Could be helpful for all.....
