Re: [mh] Tasker MH Integration

That looks interesting Steve.  Tasker is definitely something I need to 
check out.  As a FOSS alternative I use KDE Connect.  To be clear, it 
isn't trying to be the same thing, and you need to be running KDE as 
your desktop for it to work, but it allows you to run stuff on your 
desktop from your phone, plus several other cool things like popping up 
phone alerts on your desktop -- very nice for when your phone is in your 
pocket.

Regarding your code snips, if you added "if !$Reload" to the end of your 
add_hooks would that do what you need?
