Well I spoke too soon - again - about this. You're right, this just 
restarts MV every time it runs. I've been trying the other 'check' 
script in mvend/bin, but it turns out that this also has a fault.

It can either run as just ./check, when it stays resident and 
checks every 60 seconds, or ./check -o, when it should just 
run once. This seemed OK on my system, but only because 
I don't have a 'webmaster' email set up. In fact, the first time 
./check -o runs from crontab it stays resident, and the next 
iteration from crontab finds this process and emails "another 
check process is running" every time crontab fires off ./check -o.
Killing the offending process does no good, because the 
next iteration simply stays resident again.

I didn't know about Ryan Hertz' script which Joachim 
mentioned, but I'll try that next.
