It would be inserted into the previous chunk of code, in place of the 
'for' loop, after you populated the 'sg' variable with the location of 
the file.  Use this to grab the chanid and starttime from the command line:

import sys
if len(sys.argv) != 3:
     chanid, starttime = sys.argv[1:3]

Add this to the top of the file:

#!/usr/bin/env python

And then set your user job to:

/home/dave/bin/whatever.py %CHANID% %STARTTIME%
