I've tried this, but the lowest time setting you can set is 5min. That means
that every 5min a new xsnow starts up. There should be a "just once" option
there... Wait, maybe 5min was the highest... Either way, there is no "just
once" option.
My planned solution is to make a script that will check for a lock file before
running xsnow and set the lock file once it has. Then the subsequent calls
won't start another process...
