I'd love a way to figure out what mode the wwwoffled daemon thinks it's
in, i.e. whether it's currently online, offline, or autodial.
I've perused the manpages [1], but can't find anything for this.
This would be very useful for me, as it simplifies the packaging scripts
(I'm the debian maintainer for wwwoffle). E.g. when upgrading, the
daemon gets stopped, the new software is installed, the config gets
updated etc., and then the daemon is started again. I'd like to put the
daemon back into the mode it was in before I stopped it...
Something like 'wwwoffle -mode' or 'wwwoffle -connection' ? It could
output a simple 'online', 'offline' or 'autodial', that should be clear
enough, no need to make it more verbose IMHO.
[1] There's still a blank line before the .TH in the wwwoffled manpage
source which was mentioned here before. At least on debian this causes a
blank page to be output first. Also I saw a couple of typo's etc.
I'll cook up a diff soon.
