Actually, in my experimental tests, I launched the heartbeat script I
showed you via os.system() from a trigger in __setstate__ in my product's
instance. So it doesn't require the user to do anything extra.

I haven't tested this in a production environment, but it worked
in my prototype (I was using this to have a "store" app interface
to the credit processor by sending an email, then catching the
reply -- so it had to check the mailbox periodically.  In my tests,
I was using my email aliasing to just forward the email back to
the server's listening address).

Cheers,
Terry
