Thread monitoring

[gebn]

"I want to keep monitoring a thread for new files until it dies, saving new ones to the same location. If I delete any, don't re-download them."

• Could be implemented with new --monitor/-m and --unmonitor/-u options.
  • chandl -m <thread_url>.
  • chandl -u <thread_url>.
• Existing --filter, --exclude and --name options would apply to new files.
• Can use cron in the background. Be a good citizen and don't leave a trace behind if nothing is currently being monitored.
• A flowchart of a thread's state may help - need to be careful to avoid races (maybe use a .lock file), and clear up threads that have expired.
