Thanks Scott. Is there a way I can set this up system-wide, rather than for each user?
If I could specify the receiver file from the command line, then I could just set up a system wide alias, or plug it into a script. I'd rather not have to modify the way the system creates users (the mod would be to do the normal user creation, then generate a suitable settings.xml file for them).
