 For migrating a system from a different OS, take note of this info first:
-  * Make a test user on CentOS6 and one on CentOS7
+  * Make a test user on CentOS7 and one on CentOS8
     * Compare hidden files to see if anything changed between OSs
+    * This allows for easy migrating of data for users' $HOME directories
   * ensure all scripts make their own log file directory
     * $log_dir = "/var/tmp/check_disk_space";
     * mkdir ("$log_dir", 0755);
     * should crons write to /tmp and then have a daily script that checks cron logs for errors?
-  * users
