One sole problem with this (had tested it before):
f.read() on the timestamp file will not return the last digit thus
making the whole thing pretty useless.
f.write(str(int(time.time())) + " ")

seems to solve the problem, although I need to check whether the rest
of the code will care for this...

THX anyway.




Best regards,
