That's good then as that's how it works, it looks like I'll be adding a
command line interface too as I am thinking this and cron will be a
good way to schedule jobs. With the modular approach it means I'll
pretty much not have to touch the core functionality routines.
Thanks for your advice I feel I'm getting there!
The hardest part for me so far has being moving from VB interface
programming, when I first looked at some of the gui programming
toolkits in linux I was a bit overwhelmed however, once I made a start
I soon got some little programs running.
