I had a closer look at the '!processor' statement and after some
googling I found out that this is the thing I need. This is a very
beautiful option indeed and this way I'm able to run the processor when
"current" has reached its limits or through a cronjob which sends an
ALARM to the log process.

Also thnx to Daryl. It works like a charm now :)
