Experimental flow to illustrate turning flows on and off using globals

README.md

The stop flow function is controlled by the global flag 'keepgoing'.

'keepgoing' can be set TRUE/FALSE to inhibit or allow the flow. Setting of TRUE or FALSE can be achieved using inject and time between, to inhibit flows at set times of the day..... all based on an idea by Julian Knight !!!!
