Hmmm.. Well, I suppose a dirty hack would be to make it do that to my
/sbbs/data/fidoout.now, regardless of content.

My alternative has been to change the golded shell script to trap the exit code
(aka return code, aka error-level), and if it's between 1 and 7, touch the
fidoout.now file. But of course /that/ only happens when I exit GED+. heh

Thanks.. I'll try this though. Content doesn't matter, just the file being
created. LOL. Synchronet will simply trigger the event and delete the file
ignoring content.
