background box .. then in cron job run zmfilter.pl --filter_id=[whatever 
the id is].

Run a filter from the command line (alt.)

From the forum:

sudo zmdc.pl status zmfilter .pl --filter_id=2 --daemon to see what zmdc.pl thinks about it.
sudo zmdc.pl start zmfilter .pl --filter_id=2 --daemon
Is basically how to web ui tells zmdc.pl to run it, so running that from command line should do the same thing.
ps ax | grep zmfilter should either list it or not.
