Re: how to ensure a client waits for a previous transaction to finish?

Yes, they are separate perl files (I'm thinking that perhaps this wasn't
the best way to do it now, but for the moment I'm going to have to stick
with it).

In the case of the manual testing it's jus a matter of command line
calls. The automated runs call each script as part of a PBS torque
script (essentially a sh script calls each in turn).

cheers
