 test wrapper will download the iso images for each run if we use the
 watcher to monitor the website for the images and trigger the test.  James
 gave a multi-stage download solution. [[BR]]

* running a squid proxy on your autotest-server to cache
                 the ISO downloads so that clients really only download
                 the image 1 time.[[BR]]

* implementing some two-step ISO download process.  Step
                 one is a autotest server job (initiated by a watcher)
                 that caches the ISO's in an NFS ro mount point
                 (e.g. /var/cache/autoqa/install-isos).  Step two is
                 another ISO watcher that
                 monitors /var/cache/autoqa/install-isos and initiates
                 tests when new content is available[[BR]]

I have written a samll script to watch the iso images at /var/cache/autoqa
 /install-isos[[BR]]

I checked the existence and updated time to determine if it is a new one.
 I am not familiar with this part, do you have any idea about this?

Looks good so far.  How do you ensure that the script only triggers on ISO
 files that have finished downloading to the server?
