That was a long time ago. touch for DOS was rem, wasn't it?

In the tossing batch file:

imp-toss "toss pack whatever commands it needs or none"
rem . > pathto/flagfilename

With that every time imp-toss runs the flagfile is created. Within linux
create a crontab (man crontab) to check for that file exist and start
hpt/lnx if it does.

Maybe you don't need a flagfile. Just start hpt/lnx every xx minutes via cron.
That would create logfile spam and a risk of running imp-toss and hpt/lnx
at the same time. I don't know if that is critical or not.
