Aaron,


	I would merely modify any scrip that notifies requestors and etc. to 
"notify Owner" or "Notify AdminCc" or "Notify Cc" in the action 
drop-down and save. If you need more than one of these to be notified 
then duplicate the modified scrip with a different recipient in the 
action drop-down and re-name the scrip.
