Are they going to keep the script?
One place I worked, my boss quit so I took on his tasks. Turned out it was a few hours a day putting out common fires. Some times an order would fail to get updated in the database so my boss would go find the error message on the server and copy a bunch of lost data from the logs and manually enter it into the database so the orders could ship.
Only a few orders a day used the system so the company owner refused to let us spend time to fix the code. Sooo I created a completely different project that created a standardized way to detect problems accross all our crappy software and automatically ssh into things or access databases to do all the crap my boss had been doing manually.
Had a nice status dashboard and everything. I kinda doubt anyone used it after I left.
