Gotcha.  I'd not heard of the term "wedging" before, though now I realize I've seen it in a few rare cases with our old Faxpress unit where I had to power cycle the thing to get it's queue moving again.  I just wasn't sure if it was purely a hardware thing.

Nice, this should be easy for me to setup, though I've traditionally reserved inittab for minimal startup commands, but a cronjob will still work for this.

And I'll make sure to provide as good of testcases as I can if I run into anything.  I hate nothing more than hunting down Heisenbugs :)
