Thanks JR and David. I will use the lazy approach of overriding run() in
Application.
I will also pass -WOLifebeatEnabled false as I don't want this application to
talk to wotaskd
If anyone can tell me if this flag would achieve that, I would be interested
and without it would the app in fact be pinging wotaskd and would wotaskd take
any notice if it wasn't "in charge" of this application?
Thanks
John
