Oy.  This seems like another way of perpetuating our always-broke steeze, 
which is endearing, but not all that great as far as steezes go.

Can we just do this instead:

#!/home/bh/local/bin/mzscheme -r

(require (lib "process.ss"))

(let loop ()
   (system "mmrss")
   (sleep (* 60 60))
   (loop))

This gives us hourly RSS updates.  Sure it's not real time; for that we need 
mailman on the your.bh box to fire up a program each time a message is 
received that will log into the phpwh box and run mmrss.  I think this is 
possible, using ssh keys like Aaron suggested, but I don't have the time to 
look into it.

The above file is in ~/local/bin/mmrsshourly, and was started with:

    nohup mmrsshourly >& /dev/null &

PID: 17111

We should watch that for a while and make sure it's not eating memory.  It 
shouldn't be---that's a tail recursive function---but you never know.

The other drawback of this approach is we have to restart the process whenever 
phpwh is restarted, but so what.
