I still intend to try it, but haven't had time (I was on holiday for a
fortnight too until last week).  With no disrespect to your programming,
I didn't want to install something new and then leave it running
unattended.  I'm pleased to say that the existing KA9Q has been running
from cron continuously with no problems on a succession of machines for
four years, the only problems being when I run disk space too tight and
expire falls over, leading to a rapidly declining spiral !
