Yes I understand that. Sorry but what I meant was what is your end 
objective of running the user job? Transcode? Cut? Something else? 
Wouldn't be too hard to script the transcoding using a similar technique 
to Craig B's hdvideo2ipod.sh script. Cutting would be harder because (I 
think) it would involve sql to access the cutlist in the myth database. 
I'm a fairly basic sql user and I haven't used it from a script yet so 
this would be a bit of a learning curve for me.
