I've always done these checks one-at-a-time (I haven't explored whether
it would be possible to leave a socket connection open on an ongoing
basis), from a script that uses a semaphore to ensure it's only running
once at a time. As long as I make sure I have only have one connection
at a time going, d'ya think this would invoke the wrath of Ross?
