[Dxspider-support] Autostarting spider & client making

[Bob Nielsen]

I finally got things running with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server.  I did have  
to make one change in the startup file, adding a ">" to the  
redirection of the output.  I'm pretty sure this is also needed when  
redirecting to a tty, as well as to a file (I run DXSpider on a  
headless machine, so redirect to /tmp/cluster.log so I can access it  
remotely.  I updated the wiki to add the right arrow.
