Fair enough, though one line like '(sleep 60; twistd ...) & in /etc/init.d/boot.local would have been a bit simpler for a quick and dirty autoinstall .sh script (that's the simplest way I install it in my system). > Right thats my first reaction, 6Mbytes of unauditable weirdness versus a ;) > tiny C program or a shell script using netcat. > > echo "Reporting boot: " > (echo "BOOT:"$(cat /etc/lum-serial)":"$(uname -a)"::") | nc -u -w 10 > testhost.example.com 7658 Client completely stateless couldn't get right suspend to disk as far as I can tell. Tiny C program will be less tiny than the current tac file and the package would immediately become arch dependent. Plus if you want to run it as user nobody the twistd -u/g --pidfile --logfile and all the rest in twisted make life so much easier. On my systems I've other services running in background with twistd so perhaps I'm biased because I share almost all of it ;). > For one distro perhaps.

I'm not very optimistic about the depdency chain to be distro indipendent, but I will look into that shortly and I guess here I'm running a bit offtopic.
