[Server-devel] Deprecated XS utilities in XSCE

[Anna]

I was helping a friend set up an XSCE on 64 bit "big iron" and he asked me
why a couple of things didn't work right.  Well, turns out he's accustomed
to the XS 0.6 and was trying to use a couple of old utilities.
 Specifically, xs-services-check and xs-swapnics.  Now, of course
xs-swapnics isn't going to work because Fedora doesn't use udev rules
anymore.  I don't know about xs-services-check, maybe that's a script that
needs to be rewritten if folks found it useful.

Anyway, those things are still in /usr/bin and might cause confusion.  I'm
sure there's other deprecated stuff lingering about, these are just a
couple of specifics.

Here's the output from my XSCE on an XO 1.5:

Taking a look in /usr/bin, there's a whole lotta stuff with the "xs-"
prefix.  Maybe we should take inventory and try to figure out what all's
going on here.  What we currently use and how, what we need to get rid of,
and what could be useful if rewritten.
