True enough.  But you still have to add the lines in the SHELL field in order
to call some function like fidopoll or mutil.  I had got the distinct
inpression that the OP was expecting that the fidopoll or mutil processes
would magically run once the semaphore files were created.  We obviously know
that is not the case.
