Greetings,

Tim: could it be possible to add a "daily-batch-ready"
-indicator to the daily report -site filestructure, so that
those of us who are using automated processing could poll just
a single file.

Something like a 0-byte file that is created when Cymru's side
of processing is ready. For example

$DAILYREPORTS_ROOT/STATUS/DAILY-BATCH-READY_YYYYMMDD

Naturally this indicator would be valid to those report categories which
are updated once per day. 

Adding this kind of indication would help guarantee a consistent
postprocessing at the receiving end - automation would not have to
guess when the daily run is ready.
