For a feature request:
Could you please handle some signals with the following (mprime-specific)
meanings?
SIGUSR1 - Set time to `day time'
SIGUSR2 - Set time to `night time'
This will:
- Make it possible to have more advanced scripts, like having different
rules for different days.
- Make it possible for a knowing sysadmin to reduce the RAM needed by
mprime, if he/she thinks it's needed (without killing mprime).
- Make it possible for me to set `nighttime' when I go to bed, because I
go to bed at the weirdest times ;-)
...all this without changing mprime further, and it shouldn't be too
difficult to implement either (just remember an `external control only'
option, for bypassing the time checks entirely).
