And a thank you to you too! The half-hour check by the cron job to so an 
automatic reset will be handy – I’m not always at the computer! (Is that 
blasphemous?! <g>)

Your curl command (at least when I isolate it and test at Terminal) 
results in just a number, which for a cookbook scripter like me will 
probably be a lot easier to use.
