Does anyone know how to get input recorder to pause x seconds before 
searching for its file?  I have a script which reads the log files and 
fires up the script I need, and takes it down again when not needed, but 
it creates its file too late for MythTv to see.  If I append it to an 
existing file, then myth crashes.
