[Server-devel] wwwoffle?

[Dan Zubey]

Okay, I have an initial cut of the script, and it works well on my 
laptop. Can I pass this along to someone to test? How should I publish it?

I do not have an active xs environment to test it on due to some 
hardware failures here, but I'm working on that, and I'd appreciate 
input so I can fix any bugs.

What I did with the script (and I can write more documentation somewhere 
else as well) is to create an init-type script that starts and stops the 
wwwoffled daemon and squid as appropriate, as well as starting a 
separate "daemon" process that runs on the system in the background, 
tracks the system's online status, and signals wwwoffled to go online or 
offline as needed.
