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). 

Thanks again,
Judd
