In a background cron job, where will this status output go, spam my email box? I don't think I need an email for every 50k, as this process will run in the background. One problem I do have on dialup is that the stream will stop, something would have to keep restarting it. Wouldn't the until directive do it, or doesn't the until loop allow for the use of time of day as a way to know when to stop restarting? One could use while true or something and a second script to kill it off, but in practice, infinite loops can go crazy and shouldn't be used.
