lugaro waits until 10PM or so then gets data?

I'm not sure if this is a question for me...?

Ha, I didn't realize you were getting this. I just wrote it as a todo for me. But now that I have you, you can give an opinion.

The system is:

1. listener computer makes folders on acquisition computer.
2. user drops files into those folders
3. lugaro retrieves files from those folders

Problem: Lugaro should not retrieve files while someone else is trying to acquire.

Proposed solution: Lugaro gets triggered to start the whole retrieving/processing at some later time (e.g. 10PM), presumably a script like your archiving one runs and calls "matlab filename" on any files I write into a specified location

Problem the second: If this hypothetical scenario is true - that a second user was acquiring after the first, thus requiring lugaro to wait to transfer - then there are going to be two (or more) users' worth of data on the acquisition computer to be retrieved and processed, so lugaro should do them serially rather than trying to trigger them all at once (if nothing else to avoid GPU usage conflicts, but possibly also hard drive space issues).

Solution to problem 2? Script can tell when matlab returns from the first call?
