This is still puzzling to me, but..

I have shortened this process by using "/usr/local/bin/hpt scan -f" together
with "PackNetmailOnScan yes" in my config. At least now if echoscan.log (what I
 use for "echotosslog", since it's actually misrepresented. "importlog" should
be echotoss.log) is not there it will stop and do nothing.

Still wonder if this is a possibility.

I'm going to assume this echo is more or less the Z1 version; with a couple of
courageous Z2 fellas connected to it, as I've seen cross posts to other echos
regarding the Husky software. If someone has a link to the others, I'm
interested in receiving them as well.

Regards,
Nick
