my point is the defaults for the listener that scans service/ are immutable unless you want to modify a file that's tracked in the mercurial repository.

i think you're right that simply moving more of the default tcp/il/whatever scripts under a separate listener is the cleanest solution. i do run lots of individual instances of listen1, but i didn't considered setting up separate instances of listen (not listen1) to scan separate directories.

my use case here is simply removing the -q flag from listen.
