140 is a fairly generic return value, which can indicate a whole host of 
reasons why the commflag isn't running.

I ran into this last week when I realized it was failing for my 
recordings. I finally just ran it directly from the commandline, using 
the "-j" option along with the ID of a job from the jobqueue database table.

That quickly told me the real reason for the problem: one of the 
expected libraries had been upgraded, and now was failing to link 
properly. I ended up recompiling the binary, and now commflag works again.
