-print0 -print -ls etc should not be needed ...
also depends on where you are when you run find
if at / or /home or ??
and if you use $DIR in the find command to check just those dirs

hand waiving is fun....
i's ssh into foo machine where that (todaystring).tgz was sent
ssh -l user foo.domain.com
cd $Secret_Dir --> highly depending on original find command
tar zxvfp /path/todaystring.tgz
untarring automatically is easy/dangerous.... and is NOT the
debian way in this case either... ( make a *.deb pkg instead of *.tgz )
- run a cronjob to find new files in /home/To_Install
- if found ... install it && erase it if successful
todaystring can be of the form
date '+%Y%m%d'

date '+%Y.%m.%d'
Ouputs 2002.06.15 for June 15, 2002
more handwaving...

hand waiving because one does not know what directory scheme you used
and which files
