Which program is looking for the flags? (AKA semaphore files) Not knowing your
knowlege, I won't assume anything. So forgive me if you already know this:

Flag files are created so another program knows to go to work. The "flag"
option causes binkd simply to create the file, usually a zero byte file.

This line should run the toss.cmd file with the commands you have listed below.
