I have a perl script running in a vmware instance on a windows PC. Every five minutes or so it runs from the crontab. It ftps the monitor files off Astlinux as long as the mtime value for the file is at least 2 minutes older than the current time. This ensures the file is closed and safe for transfer. I never worry that my kd is going to fill up. I did have to set my mixmonitor commands to save to the ftp root filespace in astlinux, though. If you want my script, I'll e-mail it to you directly.
This is one of several instances of learning to work with Astlinux vs. against (i.e. my way). My life is a lot easier when I work with the existing design. This is why my Cepstral text to speech also happens off server. I'm using it solely to voice the weather report which doesn't change too frequently. No reason to have to do the TTS on the Astlinux server. Just ftp it periodically from the aforementioned linux vmware instance.
