that's an idea but i don't think it would work well since we're processing mail 
and files every 10 or 15 minutes now instead of once an hour like we were 
doing... there's a delay between the time that the change would be made and 
binkd would reload the file plus there's nothing that binkd does to indicate 
externally that it has reloaded... no external semaphore that a script file can 
look for so that it knows it can go on with the process... there's not even a 
semaphore we can create to cause binkd to exit with a certain error level we 
can trap in the warpper so we can loop back and start again (eg: fdxitxxx.yyy 
where xxx is ANY or a specific FD task and yyy is the errorlevel to exit 
with)...

it doesn't happen often over here... probably because binkd is set to scan the 
outbound once every 60 seconds... it is only when one file move takes longer 
than 60 seconds when this could rear its head... it would be nice, though, if 
the BSY files did protect the fileboxes... that would provide at least one 
protection from the problem...
