Log shipping script

We are currently setting up log shipping using SQL 2000. We have a local
server on a 15 minute delay and a remote server on a 3 hour delay. I am
curious as to the process of recovering the logs in the event of a failover.
Has somebody ever done a script, or know of a way to automate the process of
"catching up" the application of the log files in the event of a failover?
Specifically I am looking to automate the process of recognizing the last
log applied and then applying the subsequent logs required to bring the DB
back online.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
