Actually, this procedure works pretty well. I have done this with a
number of companies I either knew or expected to have certain systems
in production use, and out of the 9 I contacted, 7 did sign up for
service, and were *relieved* to find some backup. Usually, such
companies rely solely on their sys admin to not die or quit...

And: there's decent money to be made in these jobs, too.
