Ah, I hadn't known about Message(). I think using a warning will be
sufficient.

As far as multiple error messages are concerned, I think in this case it
may be acceptable to produce multiple warnings but allow the command to
return success, even though it may not actually have achieved anything.
Another alternative would be to return an error only if all the
sub-processes of a particular action fail.

Regards,

Thomas
