      Yep. Got myself a batch file   
      
   if not exist r:\sem\fdxit2.60 goto end   
   call 60   
   del r:\sem\fdxit2.60   
   :end   
      
      ... that's croned to 0-59/2

      I know, but it can act when it finds a semaphore file. It would be easy to   
   have it run an external when it finds one too. Alas, your suggested solution   
   seems to work, so that's fine with me.

      Hehehe... Nah, I love the present situation too much.
