I strongly reccommend that you write your app to use the Kronolith API (via
XML-RPC or whatever), or even better, look at kronolith/scripts/eventd and help
us flesh it out, since it does pretty much exactly what you describe.

Otherwise, your code is going to be buggy and incomplete and going to have to
duplicate the core logic of what Kronolith *does*.
