I thought I said that was untested but maybe I forgot to. :)
I meant to "exit $RESULT" so that the JobQueue gets the result of
the first flagger command not the second.

Agreed but not sure if it will work.  mythcommflag returns the number of
commercial breaks detected as an error code, so && may not work.

Errors are negative, 0 is good, and positive results are number of
breaks flagged.

A lot of users don't want to auto-skip though, and copying the
skip list to the cutlist would make everyone autoskip.
