swatch queues messages

Swatch is a fantastic tool for tailing logs for errors. But it has a surprising built-in behavior: it forcefully queues the outbound mails it generates for 30 minutes. Obviously, this stuff can be time-sensitive. I bugged some enlightened folks on the IRC channel and I got this excellent suggestion:

Create a job in root's cron to have exim flush the queue for the destionation mail addy at whatever interval you want. Here's one that does it every five minutes:

*/5 * * * * /usr/sbin/exim -qR

This solution is particularly elegant because you don't need to dig around inside swatch's guts. (Something you should never do with a package for a whole host of reasons.)
