Hmm, I suppose that could work, but right now there is no way for hours_since to communicate to the parent mr process that the flag file should be updated and which flag file to update. The stdout channel is already used so that would mean opening a pipe from the child to the parent and telling hours_since which file descriptor to write to using an environment variable. I'm not proficient enough with file descriptors and Perl to be able to implement this but I could add it to the myrepos codebase if I were to get an example of how to do this. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
